How do you cut the most pairs of shoes out of a hide of leather? And make sure there are no blemishes? All this and more in this episode!

In a nutshell:
We talk about some of the ways that AI is being used to improve process efficiency in manufacturing:
- Optimising use of energy and water: Your factory might have some massive heating elements to get materials up to temperature. Howe can you make sure you’re only using just enough energy and no more?
- Maximise use of raw materials: Some raw materials such as wood or leather are natural and therefore not a standard size. How do you make the most efficient use of these?
- Maximise machine uptime: Predictive maintenance is becoming ever more sophisticated. How can you make sure that you only service your machines when they need it and not before?
These are just a few of the possibilities for improving manufacturing efficiency, we’d love to hear about some of your examples!
