The Future Is WOW #37: The Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Platforms on Workplace Safety
In this month’s The Future is WOW we look at how Artificial Intelligence and migrating manufacturing software to the cloud increase the safety of your workers. How? Let’s find out below.
The impact of AI on workplace safety
If you collect the right data, Artificial intelligence can play a powerful role in mitigating risks. We all know the AI assistants like Alexa or Siri. But what about an AI assistant for your business that could help you increase safety? We can train computers to learn, reason, and communicate. They can also be trained to make decisions on their own. This way, with the assistance of a cognitive engine, Safety Managers don’t need to be data scientists to obtain meaningful insights. This will increase safety over time. Continue reading on EHS Today. Also check out our previous blog post on Connected Workers.
Cloud platforms unlock manufacturing’s new era
Today, we’re on the brink of the next wave of industrial progress. Cloud manufacturing transforms how goods are produced and addresses long-term challenges such as visibility into factory operations. It’s through this software and infrastructure that manufacturing can be done across networks. Cloud platforms don’t change manufacturing, but how companies go about it. Continue reading on Manufacturing.net to see how cloud manufacturing revolutionizes collaboration and communication across the whole supply chain.
Collaboration between humans and AI
AI is ready to transform the global economy. One of the core elements to integrate AI into operations and manufacturing is the subject matter expertise of today’s workers. These subject matter experts will be essential to helping AI become more sophisticated, efficient, and useful in the years to come. We shouldn’t look at how the industry of the future is going to be one where AI replaces humans. Read more on EHS Today to see why the future of the industry is one in which humans and AI work together.
Migrating manufacturing software to the cloud
Millions of bytes of data are created every single day. It’s up to factories and organisations to make use of this data in a meaningful way and create value with it. One way to analyze and capture all this data is through the cloud. Recently, more and more manufacturing software has begun to rely on the cloud, which leads to easy scalability, smaller upfront investments, and fast deployment.
