From Frustration to Focus: AI’s Impact on Front Office Operations
AI has the potential to transform manufacturing front-office operations, but understanding where and how to responsibly deploy AI-driven solutions is critical to ensure your shop runs efficiently and securely. In this session, learn how AI can empower your estimating team to work more efficiently, and what questions to ask potential partners about how they’re using your data to drive AI-powered decisions in their products. If you get RFQs with sensitive/CUI data through email that’s stored in shared drives and shared with OSVs, you won’t want to miss this session.
