This report by the MAPI foundation highlights how AI will transform manufacturing and the workforce of the future.
For manufacturing enterprises, the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) will reshape the source of value creation, the formation of new business models , and the delivery of value-added services such as mass customization, predictive maintenance, and “product servitization” (e.g. the process of building revenue streams for manufacturers from services related to your products). As AI becomes more prevalent in various aspects of business management and operations, investing in people will become even more important. AI and automation will not displace people but rather combine their capabilities in new ways to create new forms of value and new opportunities. The manufacturers that identify how to empower their workforces through AI applications will create the greatest value going forward.
