Once the realm of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) has made its foray into our lives and businesses in recent years. AI quickly interprets and learns from data to provide predictions and identify trends. For manufacturers, this technology proves especially vital. Manufacturers generate more data than any other business sector, but they also waste the most data. AI can help manufacturers leverage the full value of big data to improve decision-making.
Recognizing the power of this technology, ERP vendors are introducing AI in their software to give manufacturers an all-in-one solution for managing enterprise data and processes. With regards to growth of integrated AI technologies, here are the top five companies providing Artificial Intelligence for the Manufacturing sector.
