The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is set to create a new wave of industrialisation and job creation, with the manufacturing sector finding it to be a powerful tool for myriad applications and for a wide range of phases of the production process. Machine learning (ML) is the most widely used application in the manufacturing sector, enabling companies to modulate the production process and enhance quality. Global surveys indicate that 60% of manufacturing companies have embarked on using AI in their businesses to enhance product quality and achieve faster production, with the COVID-19 pandemic creating further incentives for manufacturers to employ AI more intensively.
