In the past, manufacturing industries were driven by manual labor and traditional production methods. However, with advancements in technology, it has become possible to transform these traditional manufacturing industries into smart manufacturing industries.

Smart manufacturing involves the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT), to automate and optimize the manufacturing process. In this webinar, we will explore the benefits of smart manufacturing provide an overview of the challenges involved in transforming traditional manufacturing industries to smart manufacturing industries.
