We are excited to bring Transform 2022 back in-person July 19 and virtually July 20 - 28. Join AI and data leaders for insightful talks and exciting networking opportunities. Over the past few years, smart manufacturing initiatives such as digital twins and the internet of things (IoT) has caused Industry 4.0 – the trend toward digital transformation in manufacturing and industrial sectors – to explode. However, robots and drones tasked with visually inspecting machines haven't yet seen the same growth. That is set to change in a big way, Bill Ray, vice president and analyst, emerging technologies and trends at Gartner, told VentureBeat. The robots, drones and cameras that inspect machines to perform predictive maintenance and relay analog information to operations staff can now function autonomously.

Manufacturing enterprises are quickly deploying AI solutions to stay ahead, but how to do scale these advances -- and where to begin -- remain elusive. This talk, moderated by Levatas' head of Data Science, will walk through how to perform human-in-the-loop analysis of unstructured data such as imagery and video footage, and how it could save businesses time and money. Using real examples in NLP and computer vision from other industries, you'll see how it could be possible for your firm to take advantage of these cost-saving technologies in the near-future. We'll walk through what's needed and what kind of results other industries are seeing and what the potential is for this industry.
