South Indiana: Lack of awareness and the need for qualified manpower to use the technology are the main reasons why Indiana producers are lagging behind in implementing data-driven approaches and developing artificial intelligence, according to researchers at Purdue University.
The labor gap found by other experts – aggravated by the epidemic – combined with a competitive global marketplace is forcing more automation and the use of AI across the country.
This does not mean that there are no human workers.
“There is a debate in Indiana about robots taking over every job. Well, that’s not true, ”said Kent Powell, national sales manager at Jenfersonville-based amateur.
However, since there are not enough people to hire to do the work, it is reasonable to automatically do those low-level jobs that people do not want.
Amaterol has been at the forefront of information-based and AI technology for decades, and Paul says the past five years have seen a boom in the development of robots and algorithms that can save money.
Robots operate as part of a state-of-the-art transportation system at the Amaterol Institute in Jeffersonville.
Amaterol provides technical training systems, including simulators and trainers, with companies that purchase the technology. But Amatrol does not just sell AI and data-based devices. The company also uses the technology.
For example, a few robots are scheduled to move around the vast Amatorol facility, moving points from place to place and throwing objects to workers. The robots will save two jobs, but Paul says he will free the company once to train those people for more labor.
And that means more money for the employee.
Road blocks for AI
According to Purdue researchers, about 36% of respondents who do not use such technology are interested in learning more.
“They are sitting on a very valuable asset that needs to be converted into information,” said Ragu Atinariana, the study’s lead researcher and professor of engineering technology.
They do not know where and how to start and what is needed to get started.
The study was entitled “Artificial Intelligence, Manufacturing and Human Resource Development in Indiana.” The study was conducted with Atinarianan by Robert Gallardo, Regional Development Director of Purde Center. It was funded by Microsoft.
Researchers who report on data and do not use IoT technology say they are “missing out on golden opportunities” and are “lagging behind national trends.”
According to Purdue officials, 87 per cent of the producers reported in the 87-nation survey had adopted or planned to use IE as part of their work within two years.
More than 500 surveys were emailed to manufacturers, most of them under 100, for Purdue Survey. Researchers say that the effects of the epidemic have been limited.
According to Gallardo, Indiana needs to step up its efforts on several fronts to help producers when it comes to AI.
“It’s the number one understanding – where manufacturers can start and what they can do,” he said. There is a lot of education and understanding around the topic, which is still a bit of a stretch for small businesses.
There are additional support systems, from higher education to human resource development and policy, Gallardo continued.
These are just some of the areas where Paul believes that his empire is improving rapidly.
He said the Ivy Tech Community College system is rapidly consolidating its AI and data-based offerings and has become a regular supporter of such programs across the country. Amatrol and Ivy Tech have partnered on some projects, and Paul said the training provided to future employees is invaluable.
I travel around the country, and everyone knows who Ivy Tech is and everyone wants to do what Ivy Tech does. ”
Amaterol, which has customers nationally and internationally in 50 countries, is also partnering with the state of Indiana in a data-driven program to reduce energy costs. Paul said such public efforts and partnerships are improving as they support AI.
Manufacturers of data analyze energy use and identify ways for employers to reduce costs, he said, noting the technology’s efficiency and cost savings.
Why do manufacturers turn to AI?
At the University of New Albany’s South Indiana University Sander in business, Yuri Duffen said manufacturers in other countries often face low-cost structures in a global economy.
Indiana producers’ inability to reduce costs will make it more challenging to compete globally, he said.
“The use of artificial intelligence is only a matter of time for local producers,” Duffen said. “Manufacturers are also facing a shortage of labor-intensive covines. The Covi epidemic eventually saw the acceleration of AI adoption and other forms of automation.
But does such technology prohibit value for small manufacturers? Paul said “yes” and “no”.
He said a company like Amazon is a great example of how AI and data support production and profit. It shows that the big companies that use Amazon technology often have some of the biggest employers in their regions.
“Amazon is increasing the number of robots it takes to get things done, but guess what? They employ 120,000 people nationwide, ”he said.
He acknowledged that all of these activities were not technology-related, but Paul said many were compatible with AI and information work.
And when a company like Amazon works more efficiently and saves money using this technology, it goes down to their suppliers and contractors, Paul said.
“We’re seeing companies of all sizes using AI technology and automation technology,” he said.
