Date Section Papers
Considering AI automation for industrial operations? Before jumping in, you are probably evaluating the best approach to vision AI technology implementation. Our white paper guides you through the decision-making and helps you identify important points to include in the process.
What You Will Learn in This White Paper?
Understand Internal AI Development
Organizations often consider building AI solutions in-house to gain maximum customization and control. However, this approach requires deep technical expertise and substantial organizational resources and many companies are caught off-guard.
Explore Off-the-Shelf AI Solutions
Pre-built AI software offers rapid deployment and proven performance with minimal internal development effort. Many are better than "good-enough." While not 100% tailored like an in-house built solution would be, the immediate technological capabilities come without the complex infrastructure and talent requirements of custom development.
Assess Organizational Readiness
Determining the right AI strategy depends on in-house technical capabilities, budget constraints, and strategic objectives. Understanding both the internal and external technological ecosystem and future innovation goals is crucial to informed decisions.
Evaluate Total Cost of Ownership
Building AI solutions usually involves surprises. After initial development costs, ongoing maintenance, talent retention, and continuous technological updates should be included in budgeting, too. (Off-the-shelf solutions typically provide more predictable and transparent cost structures).
Identify Implementation Challenges
Every AI adoption journey involves potential technological and organizational challenges. The white paper presented here helps identify potential risks in advance and explore mitigation strategies for successful AI integration.
