Sustainability for competitiveness is one of F\u00e5rbo Manufacturing\u2019s core values. For F\u00e5rbo, sustainability is about combining development and competitiveness with responsibility for people, resources, and the environment. The company is now taking further steps by partnering with the AI company Pylero to develop an AI agent that will collect and manage CO\u2082 data from suppliers and make the information available in documents such as quotes and invoices. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Mikael Vetterskog joined F\u00e5rbo in 2021 and took over as CEO in 2023. Since then, he has driven efficiency initiatives forward through measures such as increased employee engagement, digitalization, and the use of various AI agents tailored to the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, F\u00e5rbo\u2019s productivity has increased by more than 100 percent in recent years and continues to rise, while revenue is growing sharply. Another significant positive effect is reduced stress throughout the company\u2014something that is evident in day-to-day operations and reflected in the annual health screenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t rest on our laurels\u2014we\u2019re constantly moving forward,\u201d says Mikael. \u201cOur work on quality, the environment, and efficiency is an ongoing process, and we have many value-creating initiatives currently in development and implementation.\u201d One very important project right now is the development of a new AI agent\u2014or the Sustainability Agent, as we call it. It will help us collect, organize, and report CO\u2082 data related to the products we process for our customers. Access to relevant climate data makes it possible to move from ambition to concrete facts. For F\u00e5rbo, this is about both gaining a better understanding of climate impact throughout the value chain and providing customers with information they can use in their own sustainability decisions. <\/p>\n\n

Pylero and F\u00e5rbo are jointly developing AI agents<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

\u201cNow, together with Pylero<\/a>, we\u2019re taking another step forward by using AI to make our climate efforts more concrete and measurable,\u201d says Mikael. \u201cWe also have a few other interesting projects underway with Pylero, but more on that later.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Pylero is a Swedish AI company focused on the manufacturing industry. The basic idea is to connect companies\u2019 existing data with AI agents that can analyze information, suggest actions, and even automate parts of their business processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isak Rizell is the CEO and one of the founders of Pylero. “Relevant data is essential for the agent to do their job.” <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

As AI technology became more accessible, Isak saw new opportunities to use it to develop and streamline processes in the manufacturing industry.\u201cRelevant and reliable information is essential for an AI agent to do its job,\u201d Isak explains. Pylero has therefore also developed technology to collect data directly from the production floor. One example is an intelligent sensor that can be mounted on a machine\u2014such as a CNC lathe\u2014and collect measurement values without needing to be connected to the machine\u2019s control system. The information can then be combined with data from, for example, ERP systems and other sources and processed by the AI agent. <\/p>\n\n

The Sustainability Agent manages the flow of information<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

In the CO\u2082 project, the Sustainability Agent\u2019s primary responsibility is to streamline the collection and management of climate data. The agent identifies which items need to be supplemented with CO\u2082 information and can then request CO\u2082 data from F\u00e5rbo\u2019s suppliers. <\/p>\n\n

The agent monitors incoming email responses and can send reminders to suppliers when information is missing. The information is compiled and then entered into F\u00e5rbo\u2019s ERP system, Monitor G5. <\/p>\n\n

AI thus automates large parts of the information flow, but people retain control. F\u00e5rbo\u2019s employees review and approve key steps and tasks before the information is passed on. <\/p>\n\n

CO\u2082 data for each item<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The goal is for F\u00e5rbo to be able to link relevant CO\u2082 data to individual items and make the information available as early as the quote stage and later on the invoice as well. This gives F\u00e5rbo\u2019s customers the opportunity to factor in climate impact alongside factors such as price, quality, and delivery time\u2014and makes sustainability something that can be compared, not just talked about. <\/p>\n\n

At the same time, the information collected provides F\u00e5rbo with a better factual basis for its own sustainability and improvement efforts. The more the company learns about the climate impact throughout the value chain, the better its ability to identify areas for improvement. <\/p>\n\n

This work is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals that F\u00e5rbo has chosen to prioritize in its sustainability efforts, including Goal 7\u2014Affordable and Clean Energy, Goal 9\u2014Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, and Goal 13\u2014Climate Action. The Sustainability Agent is thus a concrete example of how digitalization and innovation can be used to increase awareness of climate impact. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWith greater transparency, we hope to create value for our customers as well. That\u2019s what we mean by sustainability for competitiveness,\u201d concludes Mikael Vetterskog. <\/p>\n\n
