Shaping the AI-Powered Factory of the Future
Future of Manufacturing Project
About the Survey Report
Now in its fourth year, the Manufacturing Leadership Council’s “Future of Manufacturing Project” continues to focus on its main goal: to enable manufacturers to envision what manufacturing might look like in the future. Achieving this goal entails thinking broadly about the intersection of the technology, organization and leadership trends shaping Manufacturing 4.0, the stage of industrial progress based on digitalization. It also requires an intense focus on specific aspects of those trends to understand, at a deep level, the opportunities
and challenges.
This research paper is part of the Project’s focus this year on what MLC calls “AI-Centric Factories of the Future.” It’s a focus on how artificial intelligence will play an increasingly vital role in tomorrow’s factories. Manufacturers will leverage AI across all aspects of the factory—from the shop floor to the boardroom, from suppliers to employees to customers, and from innovation to execution and decision-making.
