Boeing is using Generative AI to design new aircraft parts that are stronger and lighter. The company says that this has helped them to reduce the weight of the aircraft by up to 5%, which has resulted in a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.

Now, let us drill down to some recent statistics on how AI is impacting the manufacturing industry:

  • A study by Accenture estimated that AI could increase labor productivity by up to 40% by 2035.
  • According to McKinsey, AI can reduce quality control errors by up to 90%.
  • IBM reports that AI can improve supply chain visibility by 25% or more.
  • General Electric (GE) implemented AI-driven energy efficiency measures and saved $20 million in just one year.
  • A study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) found a 85% reduction in repetitive strain injuries with AI-powered exoskeletons.
  • The global AI in manufacturing market size is expected to grow from $1.1 billion in 2020 to $16.7 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 57.2%.
