Guiding clients on their artificial intelligence journeys

In helping clients benefit from the power of AI, we start with an idea, identify the critical data and rapidly turn that idea into a minimum viable product. We then help scale the solution, and continuously manage and improve it. In doing so, we leverage cloud-based and on-premise AI accelerator platforms, including access to high performance computing. We also help clients transition to an industrialized and mature AI operating model.

We work with clients locally, while bringing the strength of our global insights and end-to-end skills. We also provide a rich global and local ecosystem of AI specialty and academic partners. Our data scientists, together with our domain experts, identify realistic use cases. In addition, our method of experimenting, learning and applying human psychology and empathy enables us to deliver pragmatic and responsible AI innovation and transformative experiences.

Using machine learning to predict cracks in steel

Steel manufacturer Uddeholm turned to CGI to increase steel quality and reduce unnecessary waste due to cracks in steel. CGI developed a solution for predicting steel cracks that uses big data and IoT to capture relevant data, along with machine learning and advanced analytics to generate insights. With the solution, cracks can be predicted with 70% accuracy.
