Hot on the heels of artificial intelligence (AI) comes intelligent automation (IA), which can be roughly defined as the intersection of AI and machine learning (ML) and robotic process automation (RPA). The alphabet soup of AI, IA, ML, and RPA has the potential to automate complex workflows—automate repetitive tasks, glean data about the workflow and the business, and support better decision-making. And, of course, automation—both hardware and software—can help alleviate the employee shortage that many industries are facing, printing in particular.
That’s the promise of IA; but what’s the reality? Where does it stand today, what relevance does it have for the printing industry, what are the components of IA, and who is currently implementing it and how?
Join us on August 13 at 1pm EDT for an “intelligent automation reality check.” In this session, sponsored by Canon and Fiery, WhatTheyThink contributor David Zwang will offer a primer on intelligent automation as it applies to print production workflows, identifying the components of print-specific IA, routes to implementation, questions to ask vendors, and other aspects of IA that printers need to know to effectively utilize IA to improve and streamline their businesses.
What you’ll learn:
• What is intelligent automation?
• How does IA apply to the printing industry?
• Who is using it and how?
• How it is implemented?
• What should printers know as they start to investigate it?
Can’t make it live? No problem; a full recording—slides and audio—will be available after the session.
If you want (or need) to transform your business, you won’t want to miss this session.
