What should you do when AI mandates don't help solve real problems?

Manufacturing excellence demands more than checking boxes on AI mandates. By steering leadership away from generic AI tools and towards AI that can solve real industrial use cases with tangible benefits, you’ll not only meet the mandate but improve operations and beat benchmarks.

Here's how to frame the conversation to get the AI platform tools you need:

Translate AI mandates into manufacturing impact

Don't insert AI for AI's sake. Identify specific use cases AI can solve that bring millions in ROI potential to your organization.

Shift the focus to multi-agent systems

Not all AI is created equal. While simple agents and LLMs work well for specific tasks, process optimization and nuanced decision-making require multi-agent systems that work together.

Push for AI that augments engineering expertise

AI specialists can't solve this alone. Engineers and process experts are the key to implementing AI solutions that actually work for manufacturing—as long as they have the right tools.

Pilot, pilot, pilot

Prove value quickly and have a story to tell. Start with a small-scale proof of concept that solves a real engineering problem with a multi-agent AI system.

AI adoption in manufacturing works best when it’s aligned to engineers' needs. With a platform made for engineers by engineers, you can build multi-agent systems, solve real industrial problems, and make AI mandates work for you.
