對于美國加州的Infinera公司來說,2017年并不一帆風(fēng)順。這家電信設(shè)備制造商的收入從2016年的8.7億美元下降到2017年的7.4億美元,毛利率從45%下降到33%。這家公司在美國、加拿大、中國、印度和瑞典共有約2000名員工,當(dāng)年凈虧損1.95億美元,而2016年凈虧損2400萬美元。
"In addition to increasing our focus on the market, our restructuring plan also includes becoming a company that will ensure that product delivery is accelerated in the short term and that long-term differentiation is maintained. We are making progress on this."
為了扭轉(zhuǎn)局面,Infinera公司首席執(zhí)行官托Thomas Fallon今年早些時(shí)候告訴投資者,公司的重點(diǎn)之一就是技術(shù)改進(jìn)。
“除了增加對市場的關(guān)注之外,我們重組計(jì)劃還包括成為一個(gè)能夠確保短期內(nèi)加快產(chǎn)品交付、長期保持永久差異化技術(shù)的企業(yè)。我們正在這方面取得進(jìn)展。”
Infinera is turning to artificial intelligence, and one of its target areas is supply chain management (SCM). Infinera will use machine learning to better predict delivery dates and the performance of logistics providers by analysing historical changes in production delivery times.
為此,Infinera公司正在轉(zhuǎn)向人工智能,目標(biāo)領(lǐng)域之一是就是供應(yīng)鏈管理(SCM)。Infinera將利用機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí),通過分析生產(chǎn)交貨時(shí)間的歷史變化,更好地預(yù)測交貨日期和物流提供商的表現(xiàn)。
“我們希望我們的銷售團(tuán)隊(duì)能夠快速確定當(dāng)前待定報(bào)價(jià)和訂單產(chǎn)品的供貨,希望能夠在做出調(diào)度決策時(shí)快速考慮到更多因素和約束條件,” Infinera公司信息技術(shù)高級副總裁Todd Tuomala這樣說道。
"We hope that our sales team can quickly determine the current pending quotations and orders for the supply of products, hope to be able to make scheduling decisions quickly considering more factors and constraints," Infinera company information technology, senior vice President Todd Tuomala said.
