AI for Manufacturing
An AI training program built for manufacturers and taught from a live, in-production plant AI — MillMind, used daily by 60-80% of staff at JMC Paper Tech. Not theory by people who have never stood on a plant floor. Two tracks share one program: a 2-day leadership track for Plant Heads, VP Operations, and promoters focused on opportunity mapping, ROI, and vendor evaluation; and a 4-5 day operations & IT track that adds hands-on integration, deployment safety, and in-house ownership. Participants leave able to scope the right use cases, deploy them inside existing SCADA/MES/ERP without breaking OT/IT separation, and measure them against real operational KPIs.
