Mindact.ai: The future is AI!

Mindact.ai: The future is AI!
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to fundamentally transform the manufacturing and distribution sector. Despite this, many companies struggle with the question: How can we implement AI effectively? During Elmia Subcontractor, Mathias Karlsson, Chief of AI and Technology Strategist at Mindact.ai, will share insights about AI's possibilities and how companies can adapt to this technology.

Mindact.ai specializes in training and guiding companies in AI usage, offering the knowledge required to make informed and confident decisions.

– AI is already affecting the entire business landscape today, and we see that many companies are sitting on large amounts of valuable data without knowing how to use it effectively. Our task is to help them turn the information into something good that drives business forward, says Mathias.

AI's impact on the manufacturing and distribution sector

There are huge opportunities to leverage AI in the manufacturing and distribution sector. The technology can streamline processes such as production, logistics and environmental assessments.

– For example, AI can optimize logistics by using real-time data and historical information to plan routes. This can result in reduced fuel consumption and shorter transport times, which both saves money and reduces environmental impact, Mathias continues.

Challenges of AI implementation

Despite the great potential of AI, many companies face significant barriers to implementation. A major challenge is the lack of internal competence and knowledge of how to initiate the process.

– Several companies realize that they should invest in AI, but do not know how to go about it strategically and therefore need help. At worst, those who remain passive will fall behind and end up in some kind of competitive situation they didn't know existed. Therefore, it is extremely important to be proactive, to see and be open to changes in order to adapt. Companies that keep up with and use AI become more attractive to both customers and investors, emphasizes Mathias.

Expectations for Elmia Subcontractor

Mathias Karlsson looks forward with great anticipation to his participation at Elmia Subcontractor, a trade fair he has never visited before either as a speaker or visitor.

– It will be exciting to participate in such a large and influential fair. Getting to share my thoughts is going to be a lot of fun. I look forward to meeting other industry leaders and exchanging ideas about how we can use AI for good things, concludes Mathias.

Don't miss the chance to hear Mathias Karlsson on Wednesday 13 November at 11.10-11.40 on the Main Stage. He will talk more about how AI affects the industry and digital development.
