In this clip from our latest Automation Ladies episode, Carrie Brown and Krista Beyhaut from Wesco talk about one of the biggest shifts happening in industrial automation right now:
AI moving beyond helping operators and engineers… and potentially becoming part of the decision-making process itself.
The conversation touches on:
⚙️ AI copilots for troubleshooting and operations
⚙️ Engineers using natural language to interact with systems
⚙️ AMRs helping address workforce gaps
⚙️ AI-driven workflows in manufacturing environments
⚙️ The future of automation software and industrial operations
One point that really stood out:
AI isn’t just being discussed as a “tool” anymore. The industry is starting to ask what happens when AI begins automating workflows, supporting operational decisions, and changing how traditional manufacturing software is used altogether.
