AI in Manufacturing

This course is designed to bring you up to speed on AI in manufacturing in a very short space of time. How is this possible? It’s because the course isn’t designed to make you an AI developer; rather it builds on the professional experience you already have. It shows you how you can apply AI to your business in ways that truly improve efficiency, effectiveness, and that help your company thrive. The course offers real, start to finish project demonstrations, shows what obstacles you might encounter along the way, and shares the tips and tricks needed to make AI work well. In this course, you will gain a high-level overview of what AI is, what it can and can’t do today, in which key problem areas AI is good at providing solutions, and what the next 5-10 years might bring in additional capabilities. You will then explore several different real-world scenarios that apply AI in a manufacturing environment and discuss some of the challenges faced. We will look at expected costs for an AI project, as well as the expected benefits from cost and time savings, and revenue growth. Our goal for you is not to make you an expert in AI by the end of the course. Rather, it is to help you understand how AI could solve real problems you are facing within your organization and give you the knowledge and skills to guide your company’s technical team toward solutions that will make the most difference. This course is for active and ambitious professionals in the manufacturing industry, who have a management role or own a process. Participants can be from a wide variety of disciplines: manufacturing, operations, maintenance, business office, finance/accounting, supply chain, logistics etc. Both technical and non-technical professionals will benefit from it.
