AI Isn't Always the Best Solution
AI can create real value in manufacturing, but it isn’t always the best solution for every problem. Discover how to determine whether AI, automation, system integration, or a simpler process improvement is the right approach for your manufacturing challenge.
Manufacturers often have large amounts of data from their ERP systems, equipment, maintenance reports, and quality systems. Yet these data are not automatically usable by artificial intelligence. This article explains how to assess their relevance, consistency, context, and representativeness before starting a project.
