The article discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing industry, specifically through cloud-based machine learning. AI and ML have the potential to increase productivity, enhance quality checks, and reduce environmental impact in the manufacturing sector. However, the lack of expertise among employees is a major hindrance to AI adoption. Cloud-based AI can monitor the production process, identify defects, and predict equipment failure, leading to proactive maintenance and reduced downtime. It also allows for customization of products and efficient use of materials.
