NTT Data partnership with Cogniac brings AI into the fold for manufacturing  

NTT DATA Italia, the Italian division of the IT services provider, is partnering with Cogniac Corporation (Cogniac) to implement Cogniac’s proprietary visual data processing platform to support NTT DATA’s manufacturing operations and critically enhance its smart factory capabilities in Italy.

The industry is quickly progressing to Smart Industry 4.0, as companies advance their product manufacturing and distribution processes with integrated technologies that allow them to leverage business and engineering intelligence and analytics.

The new partnership defines a perfect synergy, which blends the visionary innovation of Cogniac’s low-code/no-code technology and the broad reach of NTT DATA’s services and network for the development of advanced vision inspection applications across manufacturing, according to the vendors.

“NTT DATA has extensive digital capabilities across the manufacturing sector which is a fundamental point of integration to successfully deploy computer vision applications. The joint value of NTT DATA and Cogniac can significantly improve and automate the quality control process for NTT DATA clients,” said Chuck Myers, chief executive officer at Cogniac. “We are confident it will drive efficiency, value, and ultimately bring NTT DATA Italia to its objective of Smart Industry 4.0.”

Cogniac’s artificial intelligence technology can identify any detail throughout the production chain that can be captured by a camera.

Using Cogniac’s intuitive interface, a business process subject matter expert can create computer vision applications, to improve and automate quality control processes and manual operations. Simple and intuitive, the platform marks a further step toward the digitization of the industrial sector and can be applied to various divisions, across any industry.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Cogniac to bring AI innovation to the manufacturing sector,” said Gennaro Masullo, manufacturing manager of NTT DATA Italia. “At NTT DATA we value the dialogue with innovative technology partners: we have always considered them as companies capable of bringing great added value to the market, and this is why we have decided to put our distribution network at the service of a reality like Cogniac, to ensure that it can express all its undeniable potential.”
