Presentation

Artificial intelligence in tire manufacturing

In today's evolving manufacturing landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) will transform tire production by capturing and leveraging tribal knowledge from experienced operators. As we move toward more autonomous factories, AI-driven systems are enabling smarter machines to analyze production adjustments and their impacts on product quality. By integrating AI into existing processes, tire manufacturers can replicate successful outcomes globally, ensuring consistent quality. This presentation will explore how AI can capture the expertise of experienced operators, aggregate data for production improvements and present ready-to-implement AI solutions that drive immediate value and innovation in tire manufacturing.
