The platform is integrated with Copilot, an AI-driven assistant that helps automate routine tasks and analyzes data. This ensures seamless data flow across your organization for informed decision-making and improved efficiency. The Dynamics 365 platform is in itself a connected platform, which is e.g. closely linked to the Power Platform.

Introducing Power Automate Process Mining

  • Power BI: Transforming data into interactive reports and dashboards, providing actionable insights.
  • Power Apps: Allows for the creation of custom applications to address specific needs and challenges. Power Pages: A platform for creating secure, data-driven websites with ease.
  • Copilot Studio: End-to-end conversational AI platform that empowers you to create and customize copilots using natural language or a graphical interface. It also includes all the previous capabilities of Power Virtual Agents.
  • Power Automate makes it simple to automate workflows between Dynamics 365 and other systems, streamlining processes.

Power Automate is a key component of the Power Platform, that now allows you to unlock operational insights through Process Mining.

Process Mining offer you valuable insights into your manufacturing processes by analyzing event data from various systems. This tool visualizes processes to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and compliance issues that might otherwise remain hidden. By integrating Process Mining with Dynamics 365, manufacturers gain a deeper understanding of their operations, driving continuous improvement.

How Process Mining enhances Dynamics 365

While Dynamics 365 provides robust applications for managing manufacturing processes, Process Mining adds another layer of insight:

  • Data Visualization: Creates detailed visual representations of your manufacturing workflows, helping to pinpoint areas for improvement.
  • Bottleneck Identification: Detects and addresses inefficiencies in real-time, enhancing overall process performance.
  • Compliance Monitoring: Ensures processes adhere to regulatory standards, minimizing risk and ensuring quality.
