Overview

AI-powered smart automation is transforming manufacturing, driving productivity, quality, and cost savings. However, many companies struggle to transition from pilot projects to full deployment. Success requires strategic planning and avoiding common pitfalls. This presentation outlines five key strategies: Appointing a strong automation champion to navigate challenges, Optimizing entire workflows rather than isolated steps, Leveraging robotic strengths instead of replicating human tasks, Evaluating all cost-saving factors beyond labor, and Ensuring workforce readiness from the outset.
