Factories Of The Future Need AI To Survive And Compete

Today's consumers are pickier than ever. They want customized, personalized and unique products over standardized ones and prefer local, smaller producers over large-scale global manufacturers. At the same time, they also expect locally-produced products to be as cheap and reliable as those industrially produced. Factories, power plants, and manufacturing centers around the world must rely on automation, machine learning, computer vision, and other fields of AI to meet these rising demands and transform the way we make, move, and market things. Since the industrial revolution, factories have been optimized to mass produce a few products rapidly and cheaply to satisfy global demand.
