    Hello everyone, I wanted to take a moment to announce that I am beginning a new bi-weekly AI discussion zoom call that will cover a wide variety of AI topics and will take place every other Wednesday at 8:30 pm EST. After the initial call I will be also launching an accompanying website which will be a place for members to post links to useful articles, videos, tools, jobs/projects and watch/read the summary of the previous calls. I recently completed the AI Solutions Architect course by Duc Haba (which I would recommend checking out) and the group discussions were really valuable. If you are interested in AI, either as a current builder or someone who is just getting started, please contact me and I will send you a link to the discussion and website. #ThePinneyGroup #AIDiscussions #AITools

    **The Future of Manufacturing: Why AI Strategy is Your Game Changer** In today's rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just an option; it's a pivotal strategy for staying competitive. As a consultant deeply embedded in the transformational journeys of various manufacturing entities, I cannot stress enough the critical importance of proactively adopting an AI strategy. Here’s why: **Stay Ahead or Risk Falling Behind** The anxiety surrounding digital transformation is palpable across boardrooms. The fear of falling behind is not unfounded. Industries are witnessing a seismic shift where AI-driven companies are setting new benchmarks. The cost of playing catch-up is not just financial; it's a matter of survival. Delaying AI integration could mean losing out on market share, diminishing brand relevance, and struggling to meet evolving customer demands efficiently. **Unlock Incredible Efficiency Gains** The narrative is not all cautionary. The exciting part? The incredible efficiency gains now being realized through AI in manufacturing. We're talking about predictive maintenance that reduces downtime, AI-driven quality control that ensures unparalleled precision, and supply chain optimization that predicts and reacts to market changes in real time. These aren't futuristic dreams; they're today's realities, offering substantial cost savings and operational excellence. **Transform Challenges into Opportunities** Navigating the AI landscape may seem daunting, but with a strategic approach, businesses can transform challenges into opportunities. An AI strategy tailored to your specific manufacturing needs can streamline operations, enhance productivity, and foster innovation. It’s about making smarter decisions, optimizing processes, and ultimately, delivering value that keeps you ahead of the curve. **Embark on Your AI Journey with Confidence** The journey towards AI integration is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires commitment, a culture of continuous learning, and a willingness to adapt. But the rewards? They're monumental. As your strategic partner, I'm here to demystify AI and guide your business through its digital transformation journey. Together, we can unlock your full potential and pave the way for a future where your manufacturing operations are not just efficient but truly resilient and innovative. **Ready to lead rather than follow?** Let's talk about shaping your AI strategy to ensure your manufacturing business not only survives but thrives in the digital era. #AIinManufacturing #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #OperationalExcellence #FutureOfWork

    Does anyone know anyone that might be interested in creating an AI based support desk for their workers? The platform involves telephone voice, web chat and video Remote support. There is a worker and management side to the application. I'm looking for 1-2 companies that I would set up for free to test out my beta model. An ideal company would have workers that might need support with specific tasks or assets while working out in the field or at a manufacturing facility. It is available 24/7 so it could be especially useful for third shift employees. DM me please. #RemoteSupport #AIsupport #AIHelpdesk
