This allows you to improve operational efficiencies, speed production, optimize equipment performance, minimize waste and reduce maintenance costs.<\/p>\n<p>Advancements in AI are also opening up a hybrid workforce where people and machines work together. According to IDC, by 2020, 60 percent of plant floor workers at G2000 manufacturers will work alongside assistance technologies that enable automation, such as robotics, 3D printing, AI, and AR\/VR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pioneers will prevail <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While we hear from manufacturers that they believe AI is critical to enabling competitive advantage, not all feel ready to put a strategy in place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sloanreview.mit.edu\/projects\/reshaping-business-with-artificial-intelligence\/\">Boston Consulting Group and MIT Sloan Management Review<\/a> recently interviewed more than 3,000 executives and technology experts in the manufacturing industry about their AI ambitions. They found that the gap between ambition and execution is large at most companies: only about one in five companies has incorporated AI into some processes. <a href=\"https:\/\/go.forrester.com\/blogs\/16-11-02-artificial_intelligence_fact_fiction_how_enterprises_can_crush_it\/\">Forrester<\/a> says that 58 percent of business and technology professionals are researching AI, but only 12 percent are using AI systems.<\/p>\n<p>However, industry pundits expect an increasing number of enterprises will adopt AI as capabilities become more adaptable and ubiquitous. Those in the manufacturing industry who start now can expect to see a strong return on their AI investment. IDC estimates that the AI market will grow from $8 billion in 2016 to more than $47 billion in 2020 when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supplychainbrain.com\/content\/nc\/technology-solutions\/network-design\/single-article-page\/article\/idc-predicts-half-of-worldwide-supply-chains-will-use-ai-by-2020\/\">50 percent of mature supply chains<\/a> will be using cognitive computing\/AI and advanced analytics for deployment-based planning and to eliminate sole reliance on short-term demand forecasts.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Infosys report, global business decision-makers expect to see a 39 percent average increase in revenue by 2020, alongside a 37 percent reduction in costs with an AI deployment. Accenture predicts that as AI-powered machines eliminate faulty machines and idle equipment, manufacturers will experience consistently rising rates of return, resulting in equally dramatic profit increases of 39 percent by 2035.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-473292\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/MS_AI_Manufacturing_DataVis_001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" \/>Putting AI to work: Microsoft\u2019s approach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Microsoft helps the industry move to a new world that is going to be made up of an intelligent cloud and an intelligent edge, we are one step closer to realizing the promise of AI in the manufacturing industry. <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/ai\">Our approach to AI<\/a> is about harnessing the explosion of digital data and computational power with advanced algorithms to enable collaborative and natural interactions between people and machines that extend the human ability to sense, learn, and understand.<\/p>\n<p>The Microsoft intelligent cloud platform offers manufacturers a compelling partnership in your journey to adopt AI. Our business solutions allow you to use AI to drive transformation and automation with accelerators and practices. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/AI\/intelligent-apps\">intelligent applications<\/a> are infused into Microsoft products and services that are core to your productivity, communication, and business processes. <a href=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/AI\/cortana\">Cortana Intelligence<\/a> helps you to turn data into intelligent action and iterative learning.
