How artificial intelligence is transforming manufacturing - The Manufacturer

We only need to look toward prominent Industry 4.0 models to see how artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting the future of manufacturing. It's baked into the roadmap and is arguably a vital part of the end state. Artificial intelligence can ingest a combination of data from sensors, machines, and people and then apply it to algorithms designed to optimize operations or achieve lights out manufacturing. Back in reality, we have some time before leading organizations achieve this pinnacle state of manufacturing, let alone the industry as a whole. Only about 9% of manufacturing organizations are leveraging Artificial Intelligence today.
