  The Reality of AI Adoption in Manufacturing

  Jul 14, 202649 min

  In this episode of The All-Axis Podcast, host Michael Thiessen sits down with Sebastian Chedal, founder and CEO of Fountain City, to separate the AI hype from real-world industrial application. While some departments are moving at lightning speed, compressing development cycles from six months to six weeks, many manufacturing executives are still stuck in the browser-based ChatGPT sandbox. Sebastian shares direct insights on the state of AI adoption, the critical importance of technical AI governance, and how custom-built autonomous agents are solving massive ERP reporting bottlenecks and preserving institutional knowledge against an aging workforce. Tune in to discover how to move your workforce "behind the glass" to orchestrate high-level productivity, rather than getting left behind in the desert of digital stagnation.
