Embraer and Aquarela Analytics have completed a ten-month project using artificial intelligence and data analysis to improve Embraer's supply chain integration. The Smart Planning system uses an interactive control panel to help Embraer's planning team manage aircraft material purchases and stock levels more effectively.

“Smart Planning is the most up-to-date data tool developed and integrated to make Embraer's processes more effective,” says Dimas Tomelin, Vice President of Strategy, Digital and Innovation at Embraer. “It consists of an interactive control panel on the materials used in the production process of our aircraft, helping the planning team in the management of purchases and stock levels to have more predictability in case of lack or excess of materials thanks to the use of artificial intelligence and a prediction model.”

The team combined Agile by Embraer and the Data Culture Methodology by Aquarela Analytics to guide the project through two main phases, from AI model development to visualisation.

“Throughout the process, we applied all of our expertise in data analysis, platforms, and artificial intelligence algorithms to improve, transform, and integrate Embraer's operating system,” says Marcos Santos, CEO of Aquarela Analytics. “It was a challenging project, where at each stage we deepened and broadened the scope as complexity and results were measured. We are very happy with the result and especially with the partnership established with Embraer.”
