At the conclusion of the program in December 2028, AIML is confident that we will have contributed significantly to the advancement of Industrial AI in ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ and the global Industrial AI field as well. We look forward to working with our collaborators and stakeholders in this space and creating the frameworks for a practical and sustainable Industrial AI initiative that will provide value to all ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n businesses, no matter the industry.

Organisations are turning to digitalisation and Industrial AI to develop autonomous and semi-autonomous processes and tools that enable new levels of safety, sustainability, and profitability.  Some of the most difficult challenges for local industries include maximising throughput while minimising changeover costs and ensuring on-time delivery of products to customers. AI can help through its ability to consider a multitude of variables at once to identify the optimal solution.  

At AIML, Industrial AI is about pushing the frontiers of what can be done with AI and machine learning, by making new discoveries that will ultimately benefit industry. By working with local industries and using AI to help increase safety, enhance supply chain management, improve performance, and cut downtime, our goal is to help businesses reach the highest levels of operational efficiency.
