Moderator McLoughlin inquired about how AI is currently being assimilated into Hextronics' manufacturing and production sectors, and the issues it may solve or cause. Curtis Lary elaborated on how AI is most useful in automating repetitive and extensive tasks, allowing employees to focus on more complex problems and solutions. Curtis ensured that our production floor retains a human touch and is always double, if not triple, checked for quality assurance. He then emphasized how machine learning algorithms provide predictive analytics, helping Hextronics anticipate issues before they arise and optimize the lifecycle of the products.

McLoughlin also speculated how the integration of AI into legacy systems might be met with resistance and complications, causing productivity to subsequently suffer because of that. However, Curtis anticipated extreme technological advancement of the future when creating Hextronics four years ago and developed his products and team to be adaptable to changes in the industry. His team works alongside AI systems, using the technology to their advantage to ensure that the automation enhances, rather than replacing, human capabilities.
