Overview

Bull Moose Tube, a leading manufacturer in the steel tubing industry, faced significant challenges with unstructured and unclear manual data spread across multiple mills and product SKUs/shapes. By partnering with Chima, Bull Moose Tube leveraged advanced generative AI to enable syntheses of complex datasets and power up fast, intelligent interactions and question-answering capabilities for all the teams that use this data. This transformation required multiple AI agents working in tandem to understand queries, route them to the correct mills, and interpret unstructured data related to locations and product SKUs/shapes.

Logging issues with product teams with errors of products to solve

As a company with a wide range of products and multiple manufacturing facilities, Bull Moose Tube encountered several operational challenges:

Unstructured Data: Information was scattered and manually recorded, making data retrieval time-consuming and inefficient.

Multiple Locations: With mills in various locations across the world (e.g. Gerald, Burlington), coordinating data across locations was extremely complex.

Diverse Product Shapes / SKUs: Managing data for various product shapes added another layer of complexity, especially when the underlying data was unstructured.

Inefficient Query Response: Answering operational questions would take a large time to get right, delaying decision-making and reducing productivity across operations, production and with customers.

Lack of Real-Time Analysis: The absence of real-time interaction and analysis hindered proactive operational adjustments.
