Ever wonder why your AI investments aren't hitting the bottom line? You're not alone. Recent studies show AI is saving office employees 5.7 hours per week, but only 1.7 of those hours translate into real business value. The rest? It's vanishing into what experts call "productivity leakage."
Ed and Alvaro saw this data and realized the same thing is happening on the plant floor. In this episode, they apply this concept to manufacturing, diving deep into why your AI gains keep disappearing and how to fix it. From machinery improvements that don't boost overall line performance to freed-up worker time that gets wasted, they share real plant floor stories about what works—and what doesn't.
You'll discover how to connect AI benefits to actual business outcomes, redesign processes holistically, and turn your people's newfound time into innovation opportunities. Whether you're dealing with bottling lines, chocolate production, or any manufacturing operation, this conversation will help you stop the leakage and start seeing real ROI from your technology investments.
