Generative AI in Manufacturing: Transforming Production Through Augmentation

Generative AI in Manufacturing: Transforming Production Through Augmentation

This IDC Perspective focuses on the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), a rapidly evolving subfield of artificial intelligence in manufacturing with specific emphasis on three significant areas — skill augmentation, demand sensing, and predictive analytics. Each of these areas will be explored through key points and their implications for the manufacturing industry. In addition, the document addresses integration challenges and the outlook for the industry."Directly or indirectly, GenAI is positioned to impact every company in the manufacturing industry, from optimizing manufacturing processes to harnessing the power of predictive maintenance and real-time data analytics. The question now is: How does one do this in a safe, secure, and effective way to make the most impact for the organization?" said Sarah Lee, research director, IT Priorities and Strategies at IDC Manufacturing Insights.
