Artificial Intelligence (AI) permeates our daily lives. It’s in your smartphone, offering tailored app suggestions, in your car, navigating you around traffic jams, and on your TV, suggesting new shows based off your watch history. AI’s reach continues to grow as manufacturing companies harness its power to optimize their operations with innovative approaches.
Firms we work with in this space emphasize their ongoing labor shortage challenges, their desire for more precise forecasting targets, and their need to improve daily core processes continually. Thankfully, AI is here to help.
Here are a few ways leading firms are making use of this advanced technology:
Help control insurance costs
It’s never anyone’s intention to waste money, but fluctuating inventory costs can quickly overrun a budget if left unmanaged. AI technologies can improve forecasting accuracy by up to twenty percent, leading to reductions in carrying costs of five percent or more.
Identify equipment failures
New technology systems can help teams identify product/equipment failures before major breakdowns occur. With fewer losses, workers are kept safe, and lost time is kept to an absolute minimum.
Enhance safety culture
An all-too-common cause of accidents in the workplace is time spent in unsafe areas. AI can help monitor employees and provide real-time data back to their managers. From there, supervisors can course correct towards safer conditions, leading to fewer claims, better loss ratios, and a stronger narrative with insurance underwriters.
We’re still in the early days, but the future holds untold possibilities for groundbreaking technological advancements. In these formative stages, it is increasingly imperative to stay abreast of evolving AI trends. Now more than ever is the time to keep a pulse on worker safety and commit to cost reduction in the manufacturing sector.
Let’s talk about how we can help protect your business and employees.
