The Artificial Intelligence Readiness Index (AIRI) offers a robust framework for evaluating and enhancing AI readiness in manufacturing. Developed through the strategic partnership between INCIT and Detecon, AIRI acts as a catalyst for transformative change, reshaping operations into AI-powered ecosystems.
It assesses three pivotal dimensions:
- AI Purpose
- Data & Technology Foundation
- Intelligent Enterprise
As Industry 4.0 continues to revolutionize manufacturing, integrating AI is becoming increasingly essential. Although many industrial companies struggle to unlock AI’s full potential, the technology is ever-evolving. AIRI offers a structured assessment approach that not only identifies existing gaps but also provides tailored roadmaps to meet organizational needs.
