Inside an AI Assessment: A Start-to-Finish Walkthrough

Thursday, November 19th @ 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST

Follow a start-to-finish AI Assessment to learn how to evaluate your data, processes, and governance, identify the right AI opportunities, and build a practical roadmap forward.

Move from “We Should Be Using AI” to Knowing Where to Start

Every manufacturer is being told to adopt AI. The harder question is whether your engineering data, processes, and governance are ready for it.

Join Hawk Ridge Systems for a practical, start-to-finish walkthrough of an AI Assessment. Using a fictitious manufacturer, we’ll take you through the assessment process in miniature, from initial discovery and scoring to findings and a prioritized roadmap.

Along the way, you’ll see how to identify where AI can provide meaningful value, where traditional automation may be the better answer, and what needs to be in place before moving forward.

By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer understanding of where AI belongs in your design cycle and how to turn AI goals into a practical plan.

Join us to see how an AI Assessment can help you identify the right opportunities and build a practical roadmap toward your AI goals.
