AI in Mobile Development

How hard is it to develop an AI app? – In the realm of AI, it is a constant journey and not a destination. Indeed, AI developers and experts are on a mission of solving the most complex problem – human behaviour. They are on a path to study patterns and produce results that a human being would most likely exhibit.

In the making of all of this fabulous innovation, what kind of challenges does an AI developer face? What are the hindrances in their role? Does AI Development manager approach in a responsible manner? To answer many such question lets dive deep into some of the stories of AI development.

‘AI – Opportunities’ in mobile app development

AI is kind of magic wand to its innovators, true to its nature of being complex it hosts a bunch of opportunities’ for developers to explore the world….

Voice Enablement Helps in understanding customer better and delivering the best

How often have you called up customer care to complain when the internet is not working or DTH not working? The first thing they ask you is – what kind of problem are you facing? While at times the problem is simple, many times the executives try to know the exact steps to reach a particular problem. While manually saying click this, click that could help, voice recognition or voice enablement allows developers in identifying the exact process that was followed.

As the user says OK Google on his phone, followed by instruction check new emails or the weather or the best deal for iPhone, it helps developers in understanding the behaviour of the customers. The kind of apps they use most, what are the instructions provided, what kind of instructions not working. The voice input also helps in understanding customers expectations from an app. I remember when my nephew instructed Google Home “You are useless,” the answer came in was I am sorry to disappoint you, and I would let my engineers know about it.”

Simplifying Complex needs

The most exciting opportunity for an AI app developer is about streamlining complex processes and workflows. Well, indeed otherwise how would the language translation work out? Or how could a chatbot help in resolving human beings technical problems? Or could you fathom of any human being going through thousands of lines of log to look for something suspicious? Or how about commanding Voice assistant to locate the best restaurant near you serving Mediterranean food?

All these are the needs to structure and present data in the simplified form. Thanks to AI app developer.

‘AI – Challenges’ in Mobile App Development

Well, the aim is to simplify lives but what are the challenges faced by developers?

No Standards tools and languages

While Google has launched some of the projects like Teachable Machine and Google AI tools to let users experience how AI works, it is still a challenge for developers to start off. In fact, Quora is flooded with queries like what are the languages or software used to develop an AI app. Many firms use Python due to the benefits it offers but has its limitations like weak in mobile programming and enterprises desktop shops. Similar is the case for other software languages like – Prolog, JAVA, C++ and LISP programming languages for artificial intelligence research

Lots of data create confusion

However, it’s the data that helps in creating the best AI app; the irony is that its also in a massive amount at times challenging to segregate and structure. With big data buzz and data tracking now a trend, developers at times face a hurdle in putting the data sets in a meaningful way.

The new availability and advancement of AI and ML are causing a revolutionary shift in the way that developers, businesses, and users think about intelligent interactions within mobile applications.

Smart Manufacturing Dashboards: A Real-Time Guide for Data-Driven Ops

Smart Manufacturing starts with real-time visibility.

Manufacturing companies today generate data by the second through sensors, machines, ERP systems, and MES platforms. But without real-time insights, even the most advanced production lines are essentially flying blind.

Manufacturers are implementing real-time dashboards that serve as control towers for their daily operations, enabling them to shift from reactive to proactive decision-making. These tools are essential to the evolution of Smart Manufacturing, where connected systems, automation, and intelligent analytics come together to drive measurable impact.

Data is available, but what’s missing is timely action.

For many plant leaders and COOs, one challenge persists: operational data is dispersed throughout systems, delayed, or hidden in spreadsheets. And this delay turns into a liability.

Real-time dashboards help uncover critical answers:

  • What caused downtime during last night’s shift?
  • Was there a delay in maintenance response?
  • Did a specific inventory threshold trigger a quality issue?

By converting raw inputs into real-time manufacturing analytics, dashboards make operational intelligence accessible to operators, supervisors, and leadership alike, enabling teams to anticipate problems rather than react to them.

1. Why Static Reports Fall Short

  • Reports often arrive late—after downtime, delays, or defects have occurred.
  • Disconnected data across ERP, MES, and sensors limits cross-functional insights.
  • Static formats lack embedded logic for proactive decision support.

2. What Real-Time Dashboards Enable

Line performance and downtime trends
Track OEE in real time and identify underperforming lines.

Predictive maintenance alerts
Utilize historical and sensor data to identify potential part failures in advance.

Inventory heat maps & reorder thresholds
Anticipate stockouts or overstocks based on dynamic reorder points.

Quality metrics linked to operator actions
Isolate shifts or procedures correlated with spikes in defects or rework.

These insights allow production teams to drive day-to-day operations in line with Smart Manufacturing principles.

3. Dashboards That Drive Action

Role-based dashboards
Dashboards can be configured for machine operators, shift supervisors, and plant managers, each with a tailored view of KPIs.

Embedded alerts and nudges
Real-time prompts, like “Line 4 below efficiency threshold for 15+ minutes,” reduce response times and minimize disruptions.

Cross-functional drill-downs
Teams can identify root causes more quickly because users can move from plant-wide overviews to detailed machine-level data in seconds.

4. What Powers These Dashboards

Data lakehouse integration
Unified access to ERP, MES, IoT sensor, and QA systems—ensuring reliable and timely manufacturing analytics.

ETL pipelines
Real-time data ingestion from high-frequency sources with minimal latency.

Visualization tools
Custom builds using Power BI, or customized solutions designed for frontline usability and operational impact.

Smart Manufacturing in Action: Reducing Market Response Time from 48 Hours to 30 Minutes

Mantra Labs partnered with a North American die-casting manufacturer to unify its operational data into a real-time dashboard. Fragmented data, manual reporting, delayed pricing decisions, and inconsistent data quality hindered operational efficiency and strategic decision-making.

Tech Enablement:

  • Centralized Data Hub with real-time access to critical business insights.
  • Automated report generation with data ingestion and processing.
  • Accurate price modeling with real-time visibility into metal price trends, cost impacts, and customer-specific pricing scenarios. 
  • Proactive market analysis with intuitive Power BI dashboards and reports.

Business Outcomes:

  • Faster response to machine alerts
  • Quality incidents traced to specific operator workflows
  • 4X faster access to insights led to improved inventory optimization.

As this case shows, real-time dashboards are not just operational tools—they’re strategic enablers.
