Building the foundations for AI at AB Dynamics

| minute read

 

AB Dynamics is a global leader in vehicle testing and verification solutions, committed to innovation, safety and sustainability. 

With AI reshaping industries, AB Dynamics saw an opportunity: use AI to boost efficiency, enhance customer support, and accelerate innovation, without compromising on quality. 

The challenge 

No clear roadmap, fragmented data, and an uncertainty of where to start. 

The solution  

Sopra Steria partnered with AB Dynamics to lay the foundations for strategic AI adoption.  Following on from our AI Hothouse workshop with key business leaders, we were invited to undertake our AI Maturity Assessment, to evaluate and understand AB Dynamics’ strategy and assess AI maturity across six key pillars: strategy, governance and ethics, technology and infrastructure, data, expertise, and culture. 

Together we identified and prioritised AI use cases and defined two Proof of Value (PoV) projects to demonstrate early impact: 

  • Smarter software development: AI tools to streamline coding, reduce errors, and accelerate delivery. 

  • Faster customer support: an AI-powered assistant using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Retrieval-Augmented Generation to surface solutions, freeing engineers to focus on more complex issues. 

The outcomes and benefits 

Our strategic AI engagement provided AB Dynamics with a structured foundation to commence targeted AI initiatives aligned with business objectives, enabling them to take the next steps in their AI transformation journey.
