An Essential to deliver Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning for the Factories of the Future
61% of industrial companies surveyed are utilizing emerging technologies as part of their Industrial Transformation strategy. New technology platforms are frequently presented to the operations technology (OT) groups. In a recent Forbes Insights survey on artificial intelligence, 44% of respondents from the automotive and manufacturing sectors classified AI as “highly important†to the manufacturing function in the next five years, while almost half—49%—said it was “absolutely critical to success.â€
At the same time, we see estimates that data scientists spend 50-80% of their time merely collecting and preparing data for analysis rather than actually performing analysis – an enormous waste of time and resources.
In the presentation, LNS Research will discuss:
• progress manufacturers are making towards implementing advanced analytics platforms and AI
• the use cases that are seen as the most significant opportunities for analytics, including AI and Machine Learning
• challenges manufacturers are facing as they initiate programs for analytics and AI
OSIsoft will discuss how taking a data infrastructure approach for manufacturing operations can:
• accelerate the time to value
• enable a variety of advanced analytics platforms with time-series data
• support an enterprise data architecture
