Many organisations invest in data and AI, but see little result in operations. Data gets lost in dashboards, analyses take time and decisions lag.
In this free workshop, you will gain strategic insight into what TinyML and Edge AI are and why this technology is a logical next step especially for manufacturing SMEs. You will discover why traditional cloud and AI pathways often have a low ROI and how local intelligence allows for faster decisions, less dependency and lower costs.
Using recognisable examples, we show which operational problems can be better solved with it. Think of unplanned downtime, reactive maintenance, quality deviations and energy losses.
This free workshop is designed for managers, team leads and decision-makers who want to understand where the real business value is and what strategic opportunities this presents for their organisation. Technical prior knowledge is not required.
