It wasn’t that long ago that the idea of intelligent machines was relegated to tales of science fiction. Authors such as Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, and Issac Asimov thrilled and chilled readers with stories of super-intelligence computers eclipsing humanity in some fashion or another. So it’s no surprise that people are generally leery of the very idea of artificial intelligence or (AI) — we’re not all just modern-day Luddites.

That being said, is there really a great deal to fear from AI as it is applied to the business and industrial worlds? Is it really that mysterious?

According to the International Standards Organization (ISO), AI refers to computer systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, perception and language understanding. These systems analyze vast datasets, recognize patterns and make decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy. AI can do amazing things — understand language, recognize patterns, solve problems and even demonstrate creativity – often at speeds and scales far beyond human capabilites. By harnessing these capabilities, AI promises to reshape how hunmans actually interact with technology and push the boundaries of what machines can achieve.

But here’s the real question — how does this apply to vehicle maintenance? 

AI, and its subset “machine learning,” can employ algorithims that can revolutionize many aspects of fleet management. For example, repair technicians in fleet and service provider enviroments can diagnose hard-to-identify and intermittent failures more quickly, improve parts identification and procurement, and reduce downtime for their fleets and customers. Equipment owners can gather highly tailored data about unit performance and do a better job of predicting failures and service needs before they are required. And vehicle manufacturers can interface with their service networks and customers more efficiently to improve designs, minimize recalls, and reduce downtime.

Attend this session and learn from our panel of experts what AI can do for fleet managers, service providers, and manufacturers to improve the entire fleet maintenance ecosystem and take vehicle maintenance operations to unheard of heights of efficiency and performance.
