Key Findings
The manufacturing industry is in the midst of a significant transformation, driven by the need for efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.
A recent survey by Microsoft unveiled that manufacturers are embracing AI to deliver a new level of automation and optimization to their business. These organizations are testing and investigating technologies and paradigms that empower them to leverage their data more effectively.
According to the research, scalability was the main concern for 72% of survey respondents, followed by automation and serviceability. These paradigms ensure that factories can efficiently expand with demand, optimize with minimal manual decision making, and maintain high uptime through easy troubleshooting and maintenance.
The research report also found that most manufacturers plan to invest in AI-powered factories of the future within the next two years.
On average, respondents expected their organizations to increase their investments in software for orchestrating edge AI by 11%. This investment shows that they recognize the need to overcome technical and skill gaps to fully exploit AI’s capabilities in future manufacturing processes.
Shifting to more connected services can also help in many ways, such as providing predictive maintenance and generating new income by selling smart, connected products.
