• Data science in manufacturing

Data science is transforming the manufacturing industry by turning vast amounts of production data into actionable insights. Through data analysis, companies can optimize processes, enhance quality control, and improve maintenance, all of which contribute to greater efficiency and competitiveness. Artificial intelligence (AI) also plays a critical role in this transformation, offering tools to analyze data, predict outcomes, and support decision-making.

Guided by European standards like the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI, these AI systems are designed to be transparent and privacy-respecting, enabling workers to understand and manage the algorithms they work with. By selecting and analyzing the right industrial data, employees can ensure that AI systems operate ethically and responsibly, keeping humans in the loop for critical decisions.
