  "account": "Mahou San Miguel, a leading brewery, is revolutionizing its business with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across its entire value chain, from production to marketing. The company's director general, Guillermo Arrieta, emphasizes that AI is becoming a cross-functional capability, transforming the company and accelerating its strategic transformation.\n\nSince 2019, Mahou San Miguel has established an AI and data team to prioritize and invest in this technology. The goal is not to replace talent and expertise but to enhance and multiply their impact. As of late 2023, nearly 40% of eligible employees have access to a ChatGPT or Copilot license, with over 600 employees actively using AI tools. The company has developed a Data and AI Academy for employee training and launched an internal AI agent called Blink to assist employees in navigating internal processes.\n\nThe AI integration has also had a significant impact on operations. Real-time monitoring of production data allows Mahou San Miguel to identify connections between production characteristics and defects, resulting in a 15% reduction in defects. The company has also piloted AI-driven logistics optimization, achieving 10% cost savings in logistics and implementing AI in maintenance to guide operators during production. These AI-driven efficiencies have generated over €540,000 in total operational savings.\n\nIn terms of marketing, Mahou San Miguel has created digital twins of its brands, enabling real-time analysis of market trends, consumer insights, and competitor strategies. This digital twin technology allows the company to analyze and optimize marketing materials, ensuring brand consistency and effectiveness. Arrieta believes that AI will amplify human capabilities rather than replace them, focusing on enhancing productivity and competitiveness.",
