Visual AI: Five Steps to Greater Profitability in Manufacturing

Webinar Summary

Manufacturers today rely on everything from Scada and sensor data to insights from repair orders and equipment bulletins. Unfortunately, traditional means of processing information are insufficient to provide real-time actional recommendations. Artificial intelligence redefines how discrete and process manufacturers improve plant safety, quality control, and operational throughput.

But the stakes remain high. On the safety front, there are nearly 340 million workplace accidents and injuries worldwide, costing U.S. businesses over $250 billion. Manufacturing represents the highest percentage overall, with employers spending $120,000 per accident on workplace injuries. Regarding quality, 96% of organizations report a product recall over the last five years, with 58% caused by operational mistakes. Finally, in terms of productivity, companies report losing 21 workdays a year due to unplanned downtime costing billions.

Visual AI redefines how manufacturers leverage existing infrastructure and cameras to avoid near misses, identify product defects, and ensure process compliance.
