GFT drives factory-floor digital transformation with support for new Google Cloud industry-specific solutions

NEW YORK, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recruiting data scientists is one of the greatest challenges in the current labor market: analysts say that there was a shortage of 250,000 data scientists globallyeven in 2020. The situation has only exacerbated since then.

AI solutions have the potential to significantly boost productivity in manufacturing. Usually, skilleddata scientists are key for AI projects to be successful. Google Cloud has now introduced newpurpose-built solutions that can be used by manufacturing engineers without requiring the help ofspecialized data scientists or additional integration code in order to scale digital transformation pilotsinto production. This will facilitate the digital transformation efforts in the manufacturing segment. As a Google Cloud Global Partner, GFT has tested and implemented these solutions in Top 10 automotive and manufacturing leaders.

"These solutions will democratize access to data on the manufacturing floor. They will generate morecompetitiveness for industries, and manufacturing engineers will gain the opportunity to acquire AI based skill sets," says Marco Santos, President of GFT USA and Latin America. "Our first-handexperience tells us manufacturers can expect a major boost in their manufacturing floor."

"Transforming factory-floor operations with data and analytics is hugely important to manufacturerstoday," said Charlie Sheridan, Technical Director, Industry Solutions, Manufacturing, Google Cloud.
