IMTS+ Webinar: Smarter Supply Chains

In this IMTS+ webinar with AMT and CADDi, Cathy Ma moderates a discussion between Aaron Lober and Philip Carpenito on how AI and data can assist manufacturers in managing tariff disruptions. With 86% of recent survey respondents experiencing increased costs due to tariffs, experts emphasize the importance of AI as a productivity multiplier in manufacturing. Aaron and Philip highlight the need for better data harmonization and the potential of AI in optimizing procurement processes. The conversation also stresses the significance of collaboration between OEMs and suppliers, particularly for smaller manufacturers who must adapt quickly to remain competitive. Ultimately, U.S. manufacturers must adopt AI tools to enhance operational efficiency and navigate the complexities of the current manufacturing landscape.
