This IDC PeerScape outlines three essential practices that organizations should embrace to fully leverage the benefits from the deployment of automation and AI in manufacturing operations. These practices are critical for manufacturers to improve efficiency, upskill their existing workforce, and build resilience on scale. By focusing on these strategic pillars, companies can enhance productivity and operational agility and effectively address evolving market demands and global challenges, positioning themselves for sustainable growth."For Asia's manufacturers, leveraging AI and automation for workforce augmentation is the express lane to unprecedented productivity gains and heightened competitiveness. By offloading repetitive or hazardous tasks to intelligent machines, human operators can focus on complex problem solving and innovation, directly impacting bottom-line growth. The next step is clear: identify specific, high-impact workflows for augmentation and implement integrated training modules that merge digital literacy with practical applications," says Dr. Wai Yee Lee, senior research manager, IDC Manufacturing Insights.Note: This information is intended for general purpose use only.
