In manufacturing, AI, which stands for Artificial Intelligence, is like a clever helper. It helps make factories, also called smart factories, work better and faster. AI uses smart machines and computers to do tasks and fix problems. It can predict when machines might break, so they get fixed before there's a big problem. This saves time and money. AI also helps workers by showing them what to do and helps make products with fewer mistakes. So, in manufacturing, AI is like a smart friend that makes everything run smoother.
