Happy New Year!
A new year brings fresh momentum, new possibilities, and a shared opportunity to move manufacturing forward together. As we begin 2026, we are launching our Manufacturing Communication Initiative, a year-long effort designed to deliver practical insights and meaningful perspectives on the technologies, trends, and challenges shaping manufacturing in the NY Southern Tier.
Our goal is simple. To create a resource you can return to throughout the year for clarity, inspiration, and actionable information that supports real progress in your organization.
To kick things off, there is no more timely topic than artificial intelligence. While generative AI has existed for several years, its rapid acceleration has moved it beyond experimentation. Today, AI is delivering practical, reliable solutions that are already being used in manufacturing environments every day.
There is far too much depth to cover in a single discussion, but we can help you begin to see what AI looks like in practice. Below, you will find videos and resources highlighting how manufacturers are applying AI on the shop floor and beyond. These are real facilities, real use cases, and real results. This is what AI delivered for Southern Tier manufacturing through 2025, and we expect even greater impact in 2026.
