IA can find application in almost all industrial sectors. It mustopen up new ways to rethink company operations, with next level software based operations. IA in the Manufacturing SectorThe manufacturing sector is poised to see drastic changes in processes and environment. The factory floor should evolve over time with collaborative robots. Procurement, ordering and scheduling can be effectively streamlined. Predictive analytics solution should help us anticipate errors and help initiate corrective action before the equipment is affected. Machine Vision is a technology that can find application in the area of quality inspection and assurance.We expect IA to positively impact the logistics and transportation industry too. Process orchestration for multiple departments and multiple locations in combination with route optimization can be game changers for large and decentralized manufacturing facilities.IA & CybersecurityCyber-attacks are becoming more sophisticated, more threatening and more expensive. At the same time, the enterprise's own systems and infrastructures are becoming more integrated and complex. This raises the need for cybersecurity automation and security intelligence. Cybersecurity automation and intelligence should define a structured way to identify and detect security threats. It should also be able provide enhanced protection against security breaches. A robust information risk management program will help in responding to and recovering from security threats while reducing human dependency.The process of Intelligent Automationmust be viewed as an ongoing journey and business process optimization and change management must be the companions on this journey. When technology leaders and business leaders collaborate to leverage their expertise, Intelligent Automation could have the capacity to exceed expectations in terms of increased efficiency, leading to tactical and competitive advantages. It could help in broadening business horizons and even be a step in future-proofing the company. Artificial Intelligence can mimic human like reasoning capacity to automated solutions making them flexible and adaptive
