The manufacturing industry is on the cusp of a revolution, driven by the increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. A recent study aimed to determine the ability of Large Language Models (LLMs), such as GPT-4 and Gemini, to replicate traditional statistical analyses in manufacturing processes. The results show that GPT-4 demonstrated performance close to Minitab, a widely used software for statistical analysis, in basic statistical calculations, while Gemini showed limitations.
The study highlights the potential of LLMs to transform traditional statistical analyses in manufacturing, with implications for optimizing processes, improving quality control, and predicting maintenance needs. However, careful implementation and adherence to best practices are crucial to maximize their benefits. The researchers propose guidelines for the cautious use of GPT-4, emphasizing validation, understanding capabilities, continuous training, and ethical use.
The findings suggest that LLMs can be used for statistical analysis in manufacturing, but further research and development are needed to fully harness their potential. As the industry continues to evolve, it is clear that AI tools like LLMs will play a significant role in shaping its future.
