AI Solutions For Custom Manufacturing Needs

AI in Manufacturing? It's For YOU! Here's How to Start, and this post will save you a month. Hey manufacturers! 👋 This year I burned my hard earned dollars (so you don't have to) and went to Google Cloud Next '25, Google I/O '25 & and even visited Stanford University (all in person), one thing's crystal clear: AI is more accessible than ever, especially for your business. Myth: "AI is only for the giants!" Not true! Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) can be more agile. Less red tape. Less "No" for new ideas. Don't ask me more unless you want a 3 hour venting on how it is done in larger companies :) The biggest opportunity for SMEs: ....They move faster 🏎️💨. Time is money.... 👉 Okay, enough context! My goal is to get you actionable insights fast. So, grab your preferred note-taking tool, because here’s a framework that could genuinely be your 1-month kickstart project. (And yes, I’m passionate about this stuff, I am even building robots in my garage on the side! Do not clap, come join in if you are in the Pacific Northwest! Here’s how you can use tools like Google Cloud's Vertex AI to your advantage with these common concerns: (no Google does not pay me a dime, I share this purely from love of their tech). 1️⃣ Concern: "Not enough data/tech!" * Truth: You need focused data for a specific problem. * Your Action (w/ Vertex AI Generative AI Studio): Use a model like Gemini Pro to brainstorm 1-2 high-impact problems AI can solve in your SME with data you likely already have or can easily collect. Think: reducing specific waste, improving a quality checkpoint. 2️⃣ Concern: "AI projects are too complex & slow!" * Truth: Your agility is key! Pilot targeted AI solutions. Example: AI Visual Inspection. * Your Action (w/ Vertex AI Vision): With AutoML Vision, you can train a custom model to spot defects using your own labeled product images – often with no deep coding skills needed! Imagine automating quality checks quickly. 3️⃣ Concern: "AI is too expensive/hard to start!" * Truth: Start small & focused. Solutions are more affordable than you think. Example: Predictive Maintenance. * Your Action (w/ Vertex AI AutoML Tabular): Use AutoML Tabular with your machine's historical data (sensor readings, logs) to train a model that predicts potential failures before they halt production. 👥 Key: AI Empowers YOUR People! This isn't about replacing your team; it's about giving them AI superpowers for efficiency and safety. * Comms Tip: Ask Gemini Pro in Vertex AI to help you draft a positive message for your team about how new AI tools will support them. Small, smart steps make a huge difference. What ONE problem in your manufacturing process would you love AI to help solve? Or your biggest question on Vertex AI? 👇 📸 Stanford students gave me the flower in the photo! #AIinManufacturing #GoogleCloud #VertexAI #SmartFactory #DigitalTransformation #Manufacturing #Innovation #FutureOfWork #GoogleIO25 #GoogleCloudNext #Stanford
