AI in Manufacturing Poised to Usher in a New Era of Profit
Manufacturers are earmarking nearly half of modernization spend for AI, expecting it to boost operating margins by 5‑10 % within two years. While 88 % anticipate margin gains, only 21 % feel data‑ready, and legacy integration, security and trust gaps hinder deployment. Companies favor multi‑platform, agentic AI that can autonomously handle routine decisions, yet still rely on safety stock and manual safeguards. To unlock profit, leaders must prioritize data cleanup, phased autonomy and avoid single‑vendor lock‑in, turning AI investment into reliable, scalable performance.
