TRENDS brings together 50 systems to deliver an AI-ready manufacturing backbone for complex industrial sectors. TRENDS was informed by the need to handle data fragmentation. The disconnect between different systems and the growth in the need for real-time intelligence. This means that organizations in the manufacturing industry can now access unified information through one operational framework. Secondly, the AI-ready manufacturing backbone brings together legacy systems with new platforms without the need to affect production workflow. This ensures that organizations can make faster decisions and also ensures the reliability of the information they use in operations.
“We’ve grown fast, but the complexity behind the scenes grew faster,” said Jonathan Elliott, Chief Information Officer at TRENDS. “We had dozens of bespoke integrations stitched together. Every change required effort and created new risks. Our goal was to build a data foundation that would scale with the organisation, not hold it back.”
“One of the biggest shifts has been moving away from one-off scripts to reusable, well-governed integration solutions,” said Jonathan Elliott. “Instead of reinventing the wheel each time, Boomi enables consistent, repeatable processes that we can apply across the business.”
Building an AI-Ready Foundation for Intelligent Manufacturing
Besides, TRENDS also focused on building a backbone for the advancement of smart analytics and artificial intelligence techniques. This was enabled by the platform. Which standardized the flow of data from over 50 different systems in the manufacturing industry. Consequently, the deployment of AI is enabled in a faster and more precise manner. Moreover, the standardized platform ensures that there is minimal human intervention and the number of system silos. This improves the efficiency of operations across different manufacturing plants.
TRENDS also highlights the significance of adding long-term value to the operations of their business through digital transformation. This is enabled by the fact that the company claims. The platform allows for the advancement of the needs of the future in relation to automation. Besides, the platform can handle different Industry 4.0 initiatives without the need for the replacement of systems. Overall, TRENDS has positioned its solution as the backbone of the implementation of intelligent manufacturing. The company enables this by strongly focusing on integration, which ensures effective outcomes. The smooth transition of the operations of the manufacturing firms towards the development of a data-driven setup.
“TRENDS brought scale and ambition, and our role was. To put the right integration solutions and governance around it,” said Nikolai Blackie, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder at Adaptiv. “Once those were in place, the team moved from concept to value far more quickly than expected. It shifted the perception of integration from something that slows the business to something that clears. The path for better insight and faster decisions.”
“Whatever our future systems look like, the constant remains the same: the need for reliable. Near-real-time data flowing between them,” said Jonathan Elliott. “The Boomi Enterprise Platform allows us to evolve without rebuilding connectivity each time. It gives the organisation room to grow.”
“Rapid growth is positive, but it brings its own operational pressures,” said David Irecki, Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific and Japan at Boomi. “When teams run hundreds of bespoke jobs daily, fragmented integrations slow the business. TRENDS rebuilt that foundation, giving teams timely, trusted data & a platform that supports new markets, new products, & what comes next.”
