Recent surveys and research conducted by the Connected Worker Series show that 75% of senior operations, manufacturing, and digital executives consider Predictive/Prescriptive Analytics a top investment priority for their organization in the next 12-24 months.
In this interview, we catch up with Jeff Winter, Industry Strategy Leader for manufacturing for Hitachi Solutions, and Smart Manufacturing Advisor at CESMII, to learn more about how organisations can systematically evaluate processes and operations to pinpoint where Gen AI can create the most impact.
“Every decision we make should revolve around adding value in the flow of work,” says Brian Perlstein. “If we fail to do so and neglect to consider the impact on the individuals affected by these changes, no matter how innovative the solution may be, it won't succeed.” As the Digital Manufacturing Innovation Leader at Owens Corning, a global building and construction materials leader, Brian understands the need for leaders today to be more visionary, proactive, and human-centric in their approach to digital transformation.
Ahead of our upcoming Connected Worker Summit in Chicago, we caught up with Brian to learn more about his vision for change.
