Parsec Survey: 72% of Manufacturers Have Adopted AI, but Only 10% Have Done So at Scale

Why It Matters

The gap between adoption and scaled deployment suggests many manufacturers are still in pilot or limited-use phases, which can constrain productivity gains and operational impact. For operators and investors, the headline points to execution risk: AI may be present in factories, but broad margin, labor, and capacity benefits likely depend on moving from isolated tools to repeatable plant-wide systems.
