Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming necessary for food and beverage manufacturers to meet ever-changing demands and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive environment. In their last webinar SparkCognition discussed why now is the time for food and beverage manufacturers to implement artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations.
The speakers demonstrated how most organizations have the available data to leverage predictive insights to drive strategic decisions and increase operational efficiency. In this webinar, Sridhar Sudarsan, CTO of SparkCognition and former CTO of IBM Watson, will discuss how AI/ML solutions solve operational challenges in large food and beverage manufacturing facilities.
Register for this webinar to see Sridhar show how the power of AI/ML technology not only solves targeted business goals, but also identifies previously unknown opportunities hidden within the data.
