对于美国加州的Infinera公司来说,2017年并不一帆风顺。这家电信设备制造商的收入从2016年的8.7亿美元下降到2017年的7.4亿美元,毛利率从45%下降到33%。这家公司在美国、加拿大、中国、印度和瑞典共有约2000名员工,当年净亏损1.95亿美元,而2016年净亏损2400万美元。
"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."
为了扭转局面,Infinera公司首席执行官托Thomas Fallon今年早些时候告诉投资者,公司的重点之一就是技术改进。
“除了增加对市场的关注之外,我们重组计划还包括成为一个能够确保短期内加快产品交付、长期保持永久差异化技术的企业。我们正在这方面取得进展。”
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.
为此,Infinera公司正在转向人工智能,目标领域之一是就是供应链管理(SCM)。Infinera将利用机器学习,通过分析生产交货时间的历史变化,更好地预测交货日期和物流提供商的表现。
“我们希望我们的销售团队能够快速确定当前待定报价和订单产品的供货,希望能够在做出调度决策时快速考虑到更多因素和约束条件,” Infinera公司信息技术高级副总裁Todd Tuomala这样说道。
"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.
