FME, Smart Industry and AIC4NL, in collaboration with AI-Certified (an initiative involving Microsoft and RMMBR, among others) have developed an AI Certified learning path tailored to the manufacturing industry. This training is free of charge and available for everyone, with interactive modules for a personalized learning path and a certificate that can be added to your resume.

Why AI knowledge is indispensable

AI already plays a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, and its importance will only continue to grow in the coming years. Furthermore, companies developing or using AI systems have to comply with the requirements of the new European AI Act from February 2, 2025. This means that their employees have to be 'AI literate' and have sufficient knowledge of these systems. Many companies in the manufacturing industry also struggle with the question: how do we ensure that all employees understand these new AI developments? After all, everyone in the company has to be able to contribute to the discussion about this technology, which is fundamentally changing the nature of work.

Practical AI training with immediate value for you and your organization

The AI Certified learning path for the manufacturing industry is a practical online training course of about 2 hours. You'll go through short, clear modules full of practical examples and interactive work formats at your own pace.

These real-world examples offer insight into a variety of AI applications, such as predictive maintenance, quality control with image recognition, and optimizing manufacturing processes. You'll also learn about generative AI (such as ChatGPT and Copilot) and robots that can adapt to their environment. Also covered are data usage, data management, the impact of the AI Act and how to collaborate responsibly with AI. And last, but not least, you'll learn about future AI developments in the manufacturing industry.

Patrick Blommerde, Lead of the Technical Industry work area at AIC4NL: "I'm thrilled that a large number of companies and AI experts from knowledge and educational institutions have contributed to this learning path with their knowledge and many practical cases."
