Data-Driven Manufacturing

How AI is unlocking new levels of operational intelligence, from predictive maintenance to quality control

According to market research, manufacturers are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance real-time decision making and achieve new levels of performance throughout their operations. Their need to minimize equipment failures, reduce operational downtime, and optimize asset performance has led many to implement AI and machine learning technologies for predictive maintenance, and for good reason. For high-volume and capital-intensive operations, unplanned outages could result in significant losses.

As crucial as it is, predictive maintenance is just the tip of the iceberg. Read this article to find out what advantages manufacturers are pursuing through AI technologies.
