Kewpie: AI development with Groovenauts : D-Wave Systems

Kewpie:

Optimization of production lines and work shifts:

We used an analysis service using a quantum computer to create rosters for employees of the side dish factory.

MAGELLAN BLOCKS creates a roster created by humans over 30 minutes in just 1 second.
In the future, we will work on optimizing rosters that include both humans and robots.

Kewpie: Adopts MAGELLAN BLOCKS

Personnel shift optimization:

Started quantum computing and personnel shift optimization at Kewpie’s side dish factory.

Personnel shift calculation in quantum computer
Personnel shift calculation and AI demand forecast
We will work on the study of collaborative area data lakes.

There is an urgent need to utilize robots:

In the introduction of robots

Based on the division of roles between humans and robots
Redesigning operations and shift systems is essential.
The introduction of an advanced shift management system was required.

Creating a personnel shift plan:

The working conditions of the person for each production line

Number of people / skill requirements,
Working interval,
Labor costs,
Various conditions need to be considered.

Factory standard model creation:

In the demonstration experiment, a personnel shift was created using the MAGELLAN BLOCKS / Ising model.
