Listen to the episode:
The MPD Q, A & I podcast series, part of the Manufacturing Performance Days, dives deep into the role of AI in creating new digital business models, advancing technologies, and leading sustainable transformation. Through candid conversations with leading professionals at the forefront of AI transformation, the series offers listeners first-hand insights into the future of AI-powered manufacturing.
Artificial intelligence is transforming manufacturing by connecting systems, securing data, and improving the way people and machines work together. But how do we ensure that AI is truly empowering – not overwhelming – the human workforce?
In this episode of the MPD Q, A & I podcast, Samppa Lahtinen, Senior Manager of Industry Solutions at M-Files, and Iiro Alhonmäki, IT Service Manager at Valio, explore how AI can enhance productivity, quality, and collaboration in manufacturing when built on three essential foundations: connectivity, confidentiality, and curation.
The Three Pillars of Successful AI
Lahtinen and Alhonmäki describe how these three C’s form the backbone of practical, people-centric AI adoption in industrial environments.
- Connectivity – Breaking Down Data Silos
- Confidentiality – Building Trust in Data
- Curation – Turning Data into Insight
The conversation highlights an emerging truth: AI’s success in manufacturing depends as much on people as on technology. Training, collaboration, and continuous learning are essential to close the gap between AI experts and operational teams.
“We need to bring AI closer to everyday work, not just to developers or IT, but to everyone who can benefit from it,” says Alhonmäki.
