Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Manufacturing Today. This month a couple of our features touch on the problem of unwritten knowledge held in the heads of staff – the experience that keeps facilities running but without formal processes. Artificial intelligence solutions offer a way to capture those judgements and the reasoning used by operators to make the final call. As increasing numbers of manufacturing employees approach retirement, making sure their knowhow is recorded is only becoming more urgent.
If data, AI, and innovation are high on your agenda, then you must visit The Manufacturing Data Summit – held in London on 6th October, the event is designed to help you unlock the full power of your data.
