AI has long been capable of analyzing production processes, yet why is it still so difficult to bring its insights back into production without intermediate steps? In automotive body-in-white mass production, the challenge is less a lack of data than the absence of holistic integration concepts that extend all the way to the machines. This paper demonstrates why bidirectionally communicative information systems are critical to addressing this challenge and identifies the design principles required to effectively integrate AI-generated results into production processes in the future.
