AI, People and the Plant Floor

Tackling Skilled Labour Shortages Without Replacing Humans


According to Deloitte, 1.9 million manufacturing jobs could remain unfilled by 2033, and nearly 40% of the maintenance workforce could retire in the next five years.

The result is a tight labour market where everyone must rethink how they leverage expertise and optimize workflows for efficient labour utilization and learning.

Can Using Predictive Maintenance and AI Help?

Yes, but it isn’t a catch-all. Download the webinar to learn how PdM and AI can be used in tandem with existing teams to:

🔸Prevent brain drain and capture knowledge before it’s lost to retirement.

🔸Enable smaller teams to achieve more across large facilities.

🔸Build a culture where AI supports technicians, instead of replacing them.

🔸Rebuild trust and confidence in technology on the plant floor.
