Manufacturers run on institutional knowledge buried in SOPs, torque charts, and equipment manuals. A private LLM trained on that data can transform those dusty binders into an on-call digital coach — answering questions in real time while the line keeps running.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why private LLMs matter: protecting proprietary knowledge, reducing latency, and meeting compliance requirements
• How to train a factory-focused model: sourcing data from SOPs, annotating jargon and edge cases, and handling production drift
• Deployment strategies: voice assistants for operators, visual inspection through language, and maintenance bots that learn in real time
• Measuring ROI: cutting downtime, accelerating skills transfer, and keeping quality scores above the red line
• Future-proofing with hybrid intelligence: human oversight, edge-to-cloud collaboration, and scaling from one cell to global plants
