In recent years, Generative AI has significantly transformed various industries, including manufacturing. This technical talk will delve into the innovative applications of Generative AI within the Dow Manufacturing and Engineering organization, showcasing multiple case studies that illustrate the transformative potential of this technology. These case studies include the development of chatbot that enables users to search and extract information from various existing data sources and expert knowledge, as well as identifying unplanned events through image-augmented user input from multi-modal models. Most of these applications leverage the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) approach, although one limitation is the accuracy of the results. In this presentation, we will highlight various innovative methods to enhance accuracy of RAG's performance and discuss the architecture used in each case study.
