OtherPractice documented: P&G deployed AI systems across its global manufacturing plants — in partnership with Microsoft Azure — that use sensors on production equipment to continuously monitor machine health, predict equipment failures before they happen, and inspect every product coming off the line in real time using cameras and sensor readings rather than batch sampling. A pilot at P&G's Berlin Gillette factory has enabled a fully unattended night shift.

P&G's Chief R&D Officer confirmed this practice on P&G's official blog in December 2024.
The suite includes a digital library of scent profiles and molecular data, AI algorithms that analyze millions of data points to build 'perfume character models' based on consumer insights, and bio-olfactive models that refine predicted formulations. The model identifies likely winning fragrance formulations that are then validated through laboratory fast prototyping. P&G's official blog, authored by Chief R&D Officer Victor Aguilar, confirmed the suite enables creation of 'irresistibly superior fragrances' and that it brings new fragrance offerings to market 'more quickly.'

P&G uses an AI-powered analytics platform built with KNIME and partner phData that automatically integrates data from across its supply chain — covering 5,000 products and 22,000 components — to generate real-time demand forecasts and supply projections, replacing a process that previously required hundreds of hours of manual data work by experts from five divisions.
Before the KNIME solution, supply chain data integration required specialists from manufacturing, supply chain, marketing, quality assurance, and laboratory information systems to spend hundreds of hours manually gathering and verifying data. KNIME's own published case study confirms the new platform automatically merges these data sources to assess supply and demand impacts and provide risk mitigation guidance. The solution produces real-time demand forecasts, supply projection reports, and live analytical dashboards. P&G has publicly reported the system reduced supply chain inquiry response times from over two hours to near-immediate results.

The suite launched company-wide in late 2023 and had reached more than 30,000 users as of late 2024.
P&G's CIO Vittorio Cretella confirmed in October 2023 that chatPG was first tested in February 2023 and officially launched company-wide in September 2023, with 8,000 requests received within the first two hours. chatPG provides employees access to multiple large language models selectable by business need; askPG layers in curated internal unstructured company knowledge; and imagePG supports generation and analysis of images and videos, including for advertising workflows. All employees are required to complete a mandatory training and sign an acceptable-use policy before access is granted, with P&G emphasizing that accountability for any AI-generated content rests with the employee.
