This is a podcast episode titled, Episode 71: AI and the Future of Manufacturing. The summary for this episode is: Manufacturing hasn't really changed all of that much in the past 75 years, with one key exception. Today we're capturing vast amounts of data about every single process that takes place on the factory floor. And while that data is proving very useful, we're only just beginning to be able to use it to optimize decision-making and create better products. In this episode, Jon Prial talks with Matthew Putman, the Co-Founder and CEO of Nanotronics. They talk about how miniaturization, sensors and robotics are different than traditional consumer-facing ML solutions. They also discuss the difference between hardware control systems with sensors and software processes, as well as where to focus your efforts for optimization. You'll Hear About: - The uses of machine learning and artificial intelligence in process management - How manufacturing is evolving with the explosion of data - Using artificial intelligence to create new manufacturing processes Access the show notes here: http://bit.ly/2GOAJCM
