Knowledge on the Line: an AI in manufacturing course for plant know-how

A practical AI in manufacturing course for plant managers, maintenance leads and engineers, delivered as a chat. Four short lessons on keeping hard-won plant knowledge, gathering the right sources, giving operators cited answers at the machine, and piloting it with honest numbers.
