Quick facts

Why it matters

Because AI in manufacturing affects quality, uptime, worker safety, and supply-chain resilience. Getting the basics right matters long before anyone wheels in the hype machine.

What you’ll learn

Who this book is for

Readers who want practical, plain-English AI insight with real-world examples — without the buzzwords.

What this book covers

A 369-page guide to AI in manufacturing — predictive maintenance, automated production, optimised supply chains, and how intelligent operations are reshaping modern industry.

What makes this book distinct

Manufacturing AI is where the conversation stops being abstract and starts hitting uptime, scrap rates, scheduling, maintenance, worker safety, and supply-chain resilience. That makes it a useful place to separate real operational value from vendor theatre.

Not your book? This is not a glossy transformation brochure. It is for readers who want the trade-offs, the workflows, and the awkward questions in plain English.
