    AI Use Case series: AI in Manufacturing

    AI is being used in every industry and manufacturing is no exception. In this episode of AI Today hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer discuss how AI is being used in manufacturing. We discuss how AI is improving the manufacturing process. AI-driven robots are used for automating repetitive tasks, such as assembly, welding, and material handling. Computer vision is helping with quality control. And, AI is a core component of smart factories, where machines, sensors, and systems are interconnected and communicate with each other. Additionally, we discuss how AI is being used to keep operations running smoothly. Predictive maintenance is helping analyze data to predict when equipment is likely to fail. We also discuss how AI optimizes supply chain management by predicting demand, optimizing inventory levels, and improving logistics. Also, AI optimizes production schedules by analyzing data from various sources, including order volumes, machine availability, and workforce capacity. Design and prototyping is another area AI is successfully being applied. We discuss how AI is helping accelerate product design and prototyping by using generative design. Demand forecasting is also an area when AI acts as an augmented intelligence tool. AI improves demand forecasting accuracy by analyzing historical sales data, market trends, and external factors such as economic indicators.

    AI Use Case Series: AI and Customer Experience

    The experiences that customers are important. In this episode of AI Today hosts Kathleen Walch and Ron Schmelzer discuss how AI is being used to enhance the customer experience. We discuss how brands are using AI to provide personalized product or service recommendations. No longer do people need to be provided general suggestions. Now, with the help of AI, hyperpersonalization can be achieved with brands providing relelvant content and suggestions and customers having a more tailored experience increasing overall satisfaction. Sentiment analysis is another area being improved with the help of AI. AI tools analyze customer feedback, social media posts, and reviews to gauge sentiment and emotions. Companies use this information to understand customer satisfaction and to tailor their responses, improving overall customer relations. AI can also help with customer retention. AI predicts customer behavior, such as potential churn, by analyzing past interactions, purchase history, and engagement levels. With the help of AI, visual search capabilities are also now possible. This is allowing customers to search for products using images rather than text. The fight for customer attention is fierce and companies are increasingly turning to technology to discover new ways to help. All of these use cases are having positive impacts and are great examples of AI in customer experience. Show Notes: AI Today Podcast #78: AI in Customer Experience
