There’s no doubt that artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way we operate. From healthcare to advertising to your Netflix recommendations, AI directly enhances our day to day lives by providing a fast, efficient, and customized experience. AI technology has become more developed and advanced, leading to lower costs and making the technology more accessible across various industries. This shift has made a massive impact in the way that products are manufactured and has led to more efficiency, less human error, and greater output overall.
This popularity is driven by the fact that manufacturing data is a good fit for AI/machine learning. Manufacturing is full of analytical data which is easier for machines to analyze. Hundreds of variables impact the production process and while these are very hard to analyze for humans, machine learning models can easily predict the impact of individual variables in such complex situations. In other industries involving language or emotions, machines are still operating at below human capabilities, slowing down their adoption. Let’s explore the role of artificial intelligence in manufacturing.
