Virtual Roundtable: AI in Manufacturing, What's Possible?
Virtual Roundtable for Manufacturers
Thursday, November 19 | 11:00 AM CT
Whether you’re experimenting with AI, have a strategy underway, or are still figuring out where to start, this session will help you see where AI can make a difference in your operation. It’s an open conversation, so come ready to share your ideas, challenges, or what’s working for you.
What We'll Cover
- Where to start: Identify the problem you want to solve and explore whether AI is the right fit.
- Practical use cases: Purchasing, scheduling, forecasting, shortages, BOMs, quality, onboarding, and training. We'll poll live and go deeper on the ones you choose.
- Guardrails: What's safe to share with AI tools, including the risk when employees use personal subscriptions with company information
- Capturing tribal knowledge: Documenting the knowledge and experience of your most seasoned employees in SOPs and training before they leave the organization.
- Connecting AI to your systems: Linking AI to your existing business systems while keeping a human in the loop.
- Your next step: A short getting-started checklist to take back to your team.
We’ll leave time for open discussion so you can hear what other manufacturers are trying and where they’re seeing results.
