How Artificial Intelligence Can Serve As a Bridge Between IT and OT
Much has been said about the potential of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), and there's still a hope that some AI technologies will eventually become plug-and-play solutions. At the moment, however, false positives and false negatives remain prevalent, and it's likely that these may never completely stop occurring.
That said, AI is still a useful technology with the right business case, and it’s likely to play a major role in the factory of the future. Already, the growing amount of data available from factory equipment has made it possible to successfully use AI for predictive maintenance purposes. It’s time for companies to start thinking about how to harness AI for their facilities.
