Why use Artificial Intelligence in ERP Software???

Aboard Software’s aERP is the first such ERP Suite integrating AI and IR into a state of the art traditional ERP Suite. But why?

What are the advantages of using AI and IR in ERP software?

How do AI and IR work in the ERP arena?

What is a software robot?

An algorithm that determines what tasks need to be done and performs those tasks, like creating Work Orders or Purchase Orders is such a robot. While a software robot is not manifested physically, it is no less of a robot. It acts following certain rules to perform certain expected tasks, creating new data structures like Work Orders or Purchase Orders for example.

What is Artificial Intelligence as applied to software?

Consider a problem that an algorithm can't solve, like optimally (or even acceptably) scheduling Work Orders. The number of possibilities is far too big (like in exponential problems or combinatorial problems); they can’t all be examined to choose the best as to do so might take the life of the universe. However, an algorithm that uses heuristic criteria and certain AI methods can produce a solution that is very good, even if not optimal in the strict sense. The achievement of AI is to be able to produce a human-quality solution for problems for which an algorithm would take a forbiddingly long amount of time to find the best solution. A typical case of AI applied to software is our Operations Scheduler.
