SUMMARY:AI in Manufacturing: The Basics
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing manufacturing with early adopters seeing greater competitiveness\, increased business opportunities\, more consistent outputs\, and higher productivity. Getting started with AI can feel daunting for manufacturers of all sizes\, but this is no new field for the ARM Institute. Since 2017\, we’ve catalyzed hundreds of AI-enabled robotic solutions\, generated roadmaps detailing the investments needed to make AI in robotics more easily adopted\, and more.\n  \n\nREGISTER TO ATTEND\n\n \nThroughout this summer\, the ARM Institute will present a NEW\, three-part public AI webinar series to help manufacturers understand practical applications of AI in manufacturing\, how to prepare your workforce for these changes\, the state of the AI industry\, and more. This three part series is your key to getting started with AI in manufacturing.\n  \n\nAI in Manufacturing: The Basics\n\n \nJoin us on Monday\, June 23 at 2 PM ET for our first webinar in this series “AI in Manufacturing: The Basics”. During this session\, Suzy Teele (ARM Institute Chief Strategy Officer) will break down: \n\n\nThe components of AI and definitions of different types of AI\nThe benefits of AI in manufacturing & how AI is being used in manufacturing\nThe challenges to leveraging AI and pitfalls to avoid\nSteps to implement AI in your manufacturing operations\n\n\n \nFollowing the formal presentation\, we’ll host an interactive Q&A session.\n \nCan’t join at the scheduled time? Register to receive the recording.\n  \n\nREGISTER TO ATTEND\n\n \nStay tuned for the dates and registration links for our next two webinars in this series! Our next two webinars will center on: \n\n\nThe Skills & Competencies Needed for AI Manufacturing Careers: July\nPractical Applications of AI in Manufacturing: August
