- Quality assurance
Quality assurance can be a particularly time-consuming task for humans to carry out, so there’s no surprise that manufacturing firms are turning to AI to automate this aspect of work.
Not only does AI make this step considerably quicker, it also improves accuracy and greatly reduces the risk of poor quality products reaching the customer.
- Predictive maintenance
AI plays an integral role in identifying when problems are likely to arise before equipment begins to break down, allowing businesses to perform maintenance before equipment completely fails and with less disruption to production.
