The Today in Manufacturing Podcast is brought to you by the editors of Manufacturing.net and Industrial Equipment News (IEN).
This week's episode is brought to you by QAD | Redzone (https://www.ien.com/formstack/from_reactive_to_ready_how_industrial_manufacturers_are_building_ai_powered_operations_and_systems_that_win?utm_source=podcast) . Industrial manufacturers are facing a convergence of pressures that legacy systems were never built to handle: supply chain instability, labor shortages, margin pressure, faster decision-making.
At the same time, AI is shifting from experimentation to operational necessity, enabling manufacturers to turn data into action and build more adaptive, resilient operations.
An upcoming live webinar (https://www.ien.com/formstack/from_reactive_to_ready_how_industrial_manufacturers_are_building_ai_powered_operations_and_systems_that_win?utm_source=podcast) , hosted by Today in Manufacturing's very own Anna Wells, will explore what AI modernization means in practice and where it is already delivering measurable impact across manufacturing operations.
Join Anna live at 10:00 am Central on Wednesday, June 17th for a lively discussion and question and answer session.
