Connectivity is the Missing Piece to Drive Manufacturing Performance with AI
from Great Question: A Manufacturing Podcast · host Endeavor Business Media’s Manufacturing Group
Samuel Pasquier, head of product management for Cisco System's Industrial IoT Connectivity Portfolio, says manufacturers want to use more AI in factories to drive efficiency and growth, but many programs are stuck in trial and failing to produce expected gains. New research from the networking technology company shows that two major factors are getting in the way: computing power and the network bandwidth to access that compute. In this conversation with Smart Industry's Scott Achelpohl, Pasquier discusses what challenges still face AI-driven digital transformation efforts and what steps manufacturers can take to set themselves up for success.
