Manufacturers face a critical challenge: capturing, standardizing, and scaling workforce knowledge. Skilled workers are retiring, and labor shortages are persisting. Outdated, paper-based documentation can no longer keep up. These methods create bottlenecks that slow productivity and make vital knowledge hard to find. In manufacturing, where accuracy and speed are essential, failing to adapt risks inefficiency and lost expertise.

AI-powered knowledge management changes this. It transforms static documentation into dynamic, searchable systems. This shift helps manufacturers train workers faster, reduce errors, and improve efficiency. Capturing and distributing knowledge seamlessly keeps businesses competitive in a rapidly changing landscape.

The data are clear:
• 95% of manufacturers still use paper-based processes. This leads to lost knowledge and operational slowdowns. (LNS Research, 2022)
• 62% of companies report that outdated documentation hurts productivity. (Deloitte, 2023)
• 72% of manufacturers see lower costs and higher efficiency with AI technology. (NAM, 2023)
• 50% plan to boost knowledge management budgets in the next two years. (State of Knowledge Management, 2023)
