Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The factory of the future isn't waiting for us.It's already learning.For decades, manufacturers spent billions making their businesses digital. ERP systems captured transactions. MES tracked production. WMS managed warehouses. TMS moved freight. PLM controlled product data. CRM followed customers. Factories became surrounded by data-and somehow managers still ended up staring at spreadsheets at 10:47 p.m. wondering why an important customer's order was late.The Factory That Thinks explores what happens next.Artificial intelligence is beginning to transform manufacturing from a collection of systems that record what happened into an intelligent enterprise capable of explaining what is happening, predicting what is likely to happen next, and recommending what people should do about it.And occasionally saving someone from another twelve-tab spreadsheet.This book takes readers beyond the hype surrounding generative AI and into the practical world of AI agents, intelligent ERP, autonomous operations, manufacturing control towers, predictive analytics, and AI-driven decision-making.The central idea is surprisingly simple: ERP provides the facts. AI figures out what those facts mean.Imagine asking your manufacturing systems a question instead of hunting through screens: Which customer orders are going to be late next week-and why?Within seconds, an AI agent could examine inventory, bills of material, supplier commitments, purchase orders, production schedules, machine capacity, quality holds, warehouse activity, transportation plans, and customer priorities. Instead of returning another report, it could identify the actual constraint, calculate the revenue at risk, evaluate alternatives, and recommend the best response.That is the factory that thinks.Readers will discover how AI can investigate material shortages before they become emergencies, detect supplier risk before a delivery fails, optimize inventory across locations, improve production schedules, predict equipment failures, accelerate quality investigations, automate procurement decisions, protect customer commitments, and connect information across previously isolated systems.The book also examines the rapidly evolving AI strategies of Oracle Fusion Cloud, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and Epicor, while making an important argument: manufacturers should not allow their entire AI future to depend on a single ERP vendor.Modern manufacturing is messy.One division runs Oracle. Another inherited SAP. A recently acquired plant uses Epicor. Someone still has an ancient system nobody wants to touch because the one employee who understands it is retiring next Thursday.AI offers something remarkable: an intelligence layer capable of working across those boundaries.But this is not a book predicting factories without people.It is about something far more powerful-factories where people make better decisions because machines can finally help assemble the complete story.Throughout the book, practical use cases are paired with architecture, data requirements, controls, governance, KPIs, implementation roadmaps, and questions executives should ask before giving AI permission to act.Because autonomous does not mean uncontrolled.The winners of the next manufacturing revolution will not simply be the companies with the most robots, the biggest ERP systems, or the largest collections of data.They will be the companies that can turn information into understanding, understanding into decisions, and decisions into action faster than their competitors.For forty years, we taught people how to operate computers.Now we are teaching computers how to understand the factory.</p Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
