Episode 71: AI and the Future of Manufacturing
Manufacturing hasn’t really changed all of that much in the past 75 years, with one key exception. Today we’re capturing vast amounts of data about every single process that takes place on the factory floor. And while that data is proving very useful, we’re only just beginning to be able to use it to optimize decision-making and create better products. In this episode, Jon Prial talks with Matthew Putman, the Co-Founder and CEO of Nanotronics. They talk about how miniaturization, sensors, and robotics are different than traditional consumer-facing ML solutions. They also discuss the difference between hardware control systems with sensors and software processes, as well as where to focus your efforts for optimization.
