John Glenski and Wade Claggett from Salas O’Brien provide guidance on incorporating automation and AI into a manufacturing environment.
Most manufacturers know digital transformation matters. Fewer know where to start, what to prioritize or how to build the internal case for sustained investment. These questions — and the answers — are designed to close that gap, moving from the pressures driving change to the engineering, data and organizational foundations that determine whether it sticks.
