AI at the Edge Spurs New Industrial Opportunities

The world is moving fast, and manufacturers must be able to keep up with the pace of change. Luckily, with technologies like AI, machine learning, computer vision, and edge computing, solution developers have the tools to help them do so. And we are already seeing major results--both inside and outside the factory. For instance, smart manufacturers have started to deploy AI at the edge on the shop floor to reduce the risk of unplanned shutdowns and production issues. By automating the process with AI platforms like the Intel OpenVINO Toolkit, image analysis can be performed directly on smart factory equipment, and workers can be quickly notified of any issues happening. This reduces manual work, which is prone to errors, and stops problems before they snowball.
