Manufacturing's Digital Workforce: Beyond Automation to Intelligent Production

The manufacturing industry is often the source of innovation. From the first assembly lines to today's robotic arms and connected machines, the sector has continuously pushed the boundaries of what automation can achieve. The next evolution in manufacturing isn't simply about adding more robots or connecting more sensors though. It's about creating intelligent production environments where AI agents work alongside humans and machines, forming a digital workforce capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting across entire manufacturing ecosystems.
