Welcome to the latest episode of the China Manufacturing Decoded Show, where we explore the transformative world of artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing. Our special guest today is Bryan DeBois, Director of Industrial AI at Rovisys, a leading system integrator. Bryan brings years of experience in digital transformation, industrial AI, industry 4.0, and smart manufacturing.
In this insightful interview with Renaud, Bryan explains the role of a system integrator and the impact of integrating AI into manufacturing processes. He explores the concept of operational technology (OT) as distinct from traditional IT, emphasizing its significance on the factory floor.
The episode highlights fascinating case studies, including a drywall manufacturer using AI to predict product quality in real-time, and a glass bottle manufacturer employing autonomous AI to control processes with superhuman efficiency. Bryan also shares an engaging example of AI-driven production scheduling at a paint manufacturer, showcasing how AI can optimize operations beyond human capability and serve as a training tool for future schedulers.
Bryan emphasizes the importance of data readiness for companies beginning their AI journey, providing valuable advice for integrating data collection and storage to improve decision-making processes.
