Where Will Gen AI Deliver Real Value in 2025? by Praveen Rao
The manufacturing industry is on the cusp of change. Over the next decade, gen AI will become a cornerstone of manufacturing operations—driving innovation, improving efficiency and enhancing overall competitiveness. Here are three key trends manufacturing leaders should watch next year.
1. The Future of Manufacturing Is Multimodal – Multimodal AI refers to models that can process and analyze both structured and unstructured data across multiple types of data inputs, such as text, images/video, audio/sound and vibrations. Allowing organizations to be both efficient and effective in their operations.
2. Gen AI Will Drive Customer-Centric Manufacturing – Over the past five years, there has been a shift toward online shopping, with customers buying everything from consumer packaged goods to cars online. We anticipate a shift from the traditional stock-and-sell sales model to a complex make-to-order sales model in the future.
3. Gen AI Can Help Bridge the Manufacturing Skills Gap – A widening skills gap is impacting the manufacturing industry, as experienced workers retire and manufacturers struggle to attract and retain new talent with the necessary skills. This challenge is amplified by the rapid pace of technological change, demanding that frontline workers are equipped with helpful tools for real-time problem solving. Generative AI offers a powerful solution to the manufacturing skills gap by transforming how knowledge is shared and applied.
