The digital transformation in manufacturing is accelerating. This means that companies that make things must move faster to innovate their products and transform the way those products are delivered from design to procurement to manufacturing to sustainment. They don't have to go at it alone. A 2020 Deloitte and MAPI Study finds ecosystems can create a competitive edge for manufacturers facing ongoing disruption.1 Today, we'll dive into a component of this ecosystem, Computer Vision. Computer Vision is one of the many Artificial Intelligence solutions that will continue to transform manufacturing.

A new generation of point artificial intelligence solutions will prove themselves in the near future. They'll build new trust, urgency and understanding of what'AI' actually is and just how much it can deliver. Voice-driven solutions will lead the charge. And we'll see pick-and-place robots in smart warehouses delivering a major competitive edge, as companies advance their use of Robotic Process Automation. Here are my three key predictions for AI in manufacturing.
