 Industrial bearings support the GenAI revolution

Industrial bearings support the GenAI revolution

02/07/2024

According to PwC, 70 percent of CEOs worldwide believe generative AI (GenAI) will significantly transform the way their companies create, deliver and capture value. That includes manufacturers, who can use the systems to spot equipment failures and minimise downtime. Here, Chris Johnson of SMB Bearings emphasises how industrial bearings, equipped with sensors, can support GenAI by providing real-time data and insights.
