Microsoft Accelerate Innovation in Manufacturing with Low Code and AI

Abstract: In the age of hyper automation, manufacturing organizations are increasingly turning to low code platforms and artificial intelligence (AI) to address labor shortages, improve efficiency, and fuel innovation. This executive roundtable delves into how manufacturers are applying automation and AI to critical business processes, transforming their operations, and achieving key performance metrics such as inventory turns, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and customer satisfaction. Participants will exchange insights, discuss potential pitfalls, and share strategies for leveraging AI and automation to drive process improvement and operational excellence.

Discussion Points:

1. Identifying low hanging fruit for AI and automation in manufacturing processes.
2. Key performance metrics improved through AI and automation initiatives.
3. Potential pitfalls and strategies for ensuring the success of automation and AI projects.
4. Leveraging AI and automation to support process improvement and operational excellence.
5. Addressing resource constraints and labor shortages in manufacturing and technology roles.
