As manufacturers increasingly face complex, data-intensive operations, many still struggle to predict disruptions, optimize production flows, and fully leverage real-time data. This relationship addresses these challenges by enabling closed-loop factory intelligence—where simulation, real-time data, and AI continuously optimize performance.

The collaboration brings together Intel’s high-speed simulation and digital twin technology with FPT’s data platforms and system integration expertise. Intel® Automated Factory Solutions (AFS)—including Intel® Factory Pathfinder and Intel® Factory Recon—allow manufacturers to gain a dynamic, end-to-end view of factory operations. FPT complements these capabilities with its digital manufacturing platforms, FleziOps (MOM+), FleziQMS (Quality Management Suite), and FleziUDP (Unified Data Platform), which integrate data across MES, ERP, and shop-floor systems to create a unified operational data layer. This foundation enables seamless deployment of Intel’s AI-driven optimization tools within live production environments.

Together, the solution allows manufacturers to:

Run thousands of AI-driven simulations to identify optimal production strategies
Detect and resolve bottlenecks before they impact production
Improve scheduling and material flow across complex production lines
Visualize and analyze factory operations through real-time digital twins

Gain Insights from Industry Experts

The event, with an international orientation, focuses on how companies can remain successful tomorrow: with a clear strategy, digital sustainability, smart use of AI and a genuine focus on people. International top speakers will highlight trends, best practices and immediately applicable solutions. Taking place in Munich, Germany, on December 1–2.

Paul Schneider, Principal Engineer and Director at Intel Corporation, said: “Manufacturing is one of the most complex environments in the world, and optimizing it requires more than isolated tools; it requires a connected, intelligent system. By collaborating with FPT, we’re able to extend the reach of Intel’s factory optimization technologies and help manufacturers operationalize AI-driven insights at scale.”

“Manufacturing has reached a turning point where AI is not just augmenting operations but actively orchestrating them. At FPT, we see a growing demand for smarter, more adaptive manufacturing systems that can respond to real-time conditions,” added Hoan Nguyen, FPT Software SEVP and FPT Americas CEO, FPT Corporation. “By combining Intel’s expertise with our AI-first solutions and global delivery capability, we are helping manufacturers achieve new levels of operational agility and efficiency.”

The industry now needs to build a flexible, powerful and sovereign infrastructure that can exploit the full potential of artificial intelligence while guaranteeing control over data and processes. (Picture: ©Gorodenkoff - stock.adobe.com)
