Industrial Automation

Computational Mathematical Modelling (CMM) plays a pivotal role in industrial automation, especially in the era of Generative AI (Gen AI). CMM enables the simulation and optimization of complex industrial processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Practical applications include predictive maintenance, where models forecast equipment failures, allowing for timely interventions and minimizing downtime. Additionally, CMM aids in process optimization by simulating various scenarios to identify the most efficient production methods.

Banking and Finance
In the era of Generative AI, Computational Mathematical Modelling (CMM) offers transformative potential for the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector. Practical applications of CMM in BFSI include risk management, fraud detection, and customer analytics. By leveraging advanced mathematical techniques such as graph theory, queuing theory, and Markov processes, financial institutions can model complex systems and predict outcomes with high accuracy.
