This week's sponsor is Epicor. If you ask any technology expert, they’ll say the opportunities for AI are vast, but many manufacturers feel they are still out of reach. Meanwhile, other manufacturers are already using it to cut waste and boost design & production efficiency, sharpening their competitive edge.
