AI in Manufacturing
Industry 5.0
The National Science Foundation funded National Center for Next Generation Manufacturing acknowledges the every changing landscape of emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence.
The definition of Industry 5.0
"Industry 5.0 is an evolution of Industry 4.0 that emphasizes a human-centric, sustainable, and resilient approach to manufacturing.
It focuses on combining advanced technology like AI and robotics with human creativity to personalize production, empower workers, and reduce the environmental impact of industry.
This contrasts with Industry 4.0's main focus on automation and data exchange."

Artificial Intelligence Use Cases in MFG
Quality
Control
​ AI monitors production lines, detecting issues through cameras and prioritizing maintenance to prevent large-scale failures.
Data
Analytics
AI analyzes historical bid data to optimize pricing strategies and reduce manual workload in competitive bidding scenarios.
Predictive Maintence
Predictive maintenance AI uses sensor data (e.g., vibrations from CNC machines) to detect anomalies, preventing downtime and reducing costs.
Smart Manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing often involve case studies using tools like IBM Maximo, Siemens MindSphere, and GE Predix, that utilizes AI.
Demand
Forecasting
AI aids in material cost estimation, demand forecasting, and inventory optimization, reducing waste and improving resource use.
Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technologies Initiatives
Artificial Intelligence tools are influencing our lives and redefining education and the workforce at a rapid pace.
Vital skills such as communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, managing ambiguity, and creativity are becoming increasingly important as we prepare students, teachers, and employees for a future deeply intertwined with AI.
The Skills21 team supports schools, organizations, and businesses looking to amplify their success through GenAI. This work includes keynote presentations, hands-on training, and AI tools.
