Manufacturers hope for AI boost in factories
AI and its influence on manufacturing
Manufactures cant wait for the AI to “take over” their factories, hoping that robots will be able to fix sophisticated machinery.
ChatGPT has attracted loads of interest in the previous months from many sectors.
The potential of usage of AI in the manufacturing sector was in strong focus last week at Hanover Fair, Germany.
For example, a young member of American IT company HPE had a conversation with an AI-equipped virtual assistant, requesting assistance with operating the arm of a robot.
Professionals are aiming at AI giving tasks for technical problems troubleshooting, according to Thomas Meier, who was presenting the AI.
Factory workers can, for example, send a photo of a machine for the AI to check for possible issues.
Aleph Alpha's, a German startup, resources are modest compared to OpenAI’s, whose major financing comes from Microsoft, but it praises that the clients’ data remains in Europe.
Siemens was also presenting an app for improving factory performance. Cooperation between Microsoft and the German industrial conglomerate will roll out a new version of the Teams messaging program, which will include ChatGPT and will help employees see the problems in products.
In Siemens they say that in most cases issues are never recorded and that AI was "not firing anybody", as certain tasks were never done.
Another point is "improving the shortage of skilled workers", particularly in Germany, since most manufacturers complain about understaffing.
