AI & Smart Automation Conference 2023
Manufacturing Process+Supply Chain Transformation
Larry Sweet - Director, Engineering, ARM Institute
AI and Machine Learning (ML) are accelerating gains in advanced manufacturing, enabling levels of productivity accessible to the diverse eco-system of large to small-sized manufacturers. Combined with advanced robotics, “point of need” manufacturing has the potential to transform the entire logistics supply chain, reduce the size of vast inventories, and prioritize transportation and skilled field technicians for critical items that cannot be manufactured in the field. In recent years severe shortages of critical components occurred due to Covid19, offshore semiconductor production constraints, and shipping blockages. These blockages starved manufacturing process flows downstream and blocked upstream logistics with overflowing inventories. Advanced robotic manufacturing will provide capabilities for on-site production, repair, and refurbishment of parts and consumables while inspecting for defects to capture potential failures before they occur.
