AI & Manufacturing

According to a recent study by Oxford Economics, midsized companies in the industrial manufacturing sector are setting their eyes on ambitious growth targets. The research, authored in partnership with SAP, revealed that 38% of industry leaders have identified market expansion as their top priority.

Midsize companies in the global industrial manufacturing sector are facing a transformative era driven by automation and artificial intelligence (AI). As industry leaders recognise, these technologies are reshaping the very foundations of manufacturing processes and workforce dynamics.

A new analysis by S&P Global Market Intelligence reveals that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are accelerating their investments in AI and semiconductor capabilities to boost their technology sectors. 

Artificial intelligence has become more than just a buzzword as it promises to revolutionise every other industry in the world, including manufacturing. In Australia, in particular, the hype surrounding AI and automation has reached a fever pitch, with many business leaders leveraging their resources to race towards adoption and implementation.

TeamViewer, a prominent global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalisation solutions, has launched new AI-powered features aimed at enhancing operational efficiency for IT teams.
