Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ | Think Differently: AI in Manufacturing

#Smart Manufacturing Mindset™ #Podcast #Smart Manufacturing Executive Council

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has arrived – and loudly – in many forms, and it’s playing a critical role in how Smart Manufacturing will succeed and evolve. For some, it still represents the frontier, but for those who have adopted it, it has been a game-changer.

But AI doesn’t work in a vacuum, or as some “plug-and-play” solution to every manufacturing or operational challenge. AI requires massive amounts of data – and the right kind of data – to empower leaders and technicians to deploy next-generation intelligent solutions. It also depends on available and effective external data sources that can bolster your efforts.

This insightful, 50-minute conversation brings together some of the brightest minds in the AI space, speaking candidly about the current state of AI, how it can be used for optimal effectiveness, and what the future holds for data-driven manufacturers of all sizes.

Key discussion points and takeaways from our experts include:

  1. Where AI can – and should – make a real difference to “move the meter” in the manufacturing sector.
  2. Going beyond generative AI and exploration and finding practical, productive methods for deployment and scalability.
  3. Rethinking the ways we operate and the relationship between operations and design.
  4. Ways AI can reduce energy expenditure and create new levels of sustainability
  5. The ongoing challenge of integrating and contextualizing data, and knowing how to synthesize, integrate and leverage AI for the greater good.
  6. The role humans play in this equation to create new levels of efficiency and productivity.
  7. Working toward democratization of AI to make it accessible to all.
