About BERG Propulsion
BERG Propulsion is a global leader in propulsion solutions, specializing in controllable pitch propellers, azimuth thrusters, transverse thrusters, and advanced vessel control systems. With a strong focus on innovation and quality, BERG Propulsion serves the maritime industry with high-performance solutions tailored for efficiency and reliability.
The Challenge
Managing delivery documentation, particularly supplier certificates, was a time-consuming and manual process for BERG Propulsion. Each certificate had to be individually reviewed, verified, and stored to ensure compliance with strict regulatory and quality requirements. This slowed down operations and increased the risk of human error, potentially impacting traceability and overall process efficiency.
The Solution
To address these challenges, Navcite implemented an automated certificate handling solution using NAIS (Navcite Azure Integration Services). The AI-driven solution streamlines the process by automatically fetching, interpreting, and categorizing certificates, ensuring seamless integration with BERG Propulsion’s existing systems.
Key Features of the Solution:
- Automated Data Processing: Certificates are retrieved directly via the supplier portal or via email using Graph API, where AI scans, interprets and extracts relevant metadata.
- Intelligent Verification: The system validates purchase orders, suppliers, and material certificates against existing records, ensuring accuracy.
- Seamless Document Management: Certificates are automatically categorized and stored in SharePoint with proper metadata, enabling easy traceability.
- Regulatory Compliance & Quality Control: The solution supports compliance with industry standards, ensuring all required documentation is accurate and accessible.
The Results
Implementing this AI-powered automation brought immediate value to BERG Propulsion by improving efficiency, reducing errors, and ensuring compliance.
Key Benefits:
- Significant Time Savings: Automating manual tasks frees up valuable resources for more strategic initiatives.
- Improved Accuracy & Quality: AI-driven verification ensures data reliability and consistency.
- Future-Proof & Scalable: The solution is designed to evolve, allowing for future enhancements like API-based certificate handling.
- Fast Deployment: The flexible architecture of the NAIS framework enabled a quick and efficient implementation.
“The automated solution significantly reduced manual workload and ensured quality, allowing us to focus on more strategic initiatives.”
