News Release<\/p>\n

Conexus Indiana announced the launch of its\u00a0AI Use-Case Catalog<\/a>, a new resource that gives Indiana advanced manufacturing and\u00a0logistics\u00a0(AML) companies a real-world look at how their peers\u00a0are\u00a0putting AI to work inside their businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The catalog already includes\u00a0100\u00a0AI projects\u00a0submitted\u00a0directly by Indiana AML companies, including what they built, what it\u00a0cost\u00a0and what results they saw. Companies can browse the catalog, filter by cost, function, or sub-sector, benchmark their own progress against comparable projects across the state and get practical ideas on AI projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way for a manufacturer to learn about AI is to see what a peer down the road actually did, what it cost them and whether it worked,\u201d said Jay Wirts, President & CEO of Conexus Indiana. \u201cOur partners consistently share that peer learning is the most valuable part of convening together as an industry. We wanted to bring that same peer learning to the broader AML community and inspire AI use of every size, from a small pilot on the shop floor to a major investment.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the small and mid-sized companies that make up more than 80% of Indiana\u2019s AML sector, staying competitive increasingly means finding ways to boost productivity without major capital outlays. AI adoption is proving to be one of the most accessible levers available, and\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0more affordable than many companies expect and\u00a0its\u00a0already showing measurable impact on operations for businesses of all sizes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Early data from the catalog\u2019s submissions points to several trends:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Production scheduling and optimization\u00a0is\u00a0the most common starting\u00a0point.\u00a0Many companies are leading with everyday operational fixes rather than experimental AI projects.\u00a0
\nData quality and systems integration are the top perceived barriers. Companies most often cite clean, connected data and legacy systems as their biggest hesitations, though many projects in the catalog launched before either\u00a0was\u00a0fully resolved.\u00a0
\nSome use cases move faster than expected.\u00a0Demand forecasting is among the fastest to deploy, with some projects\u00a0live\u00a0in under two months.\u00a0
\nA large budget\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0a prerequisite.\u00a0Several entries reflect early-stage experimentation using accessible, low-cost tools, while larger dedicated projects typically require more investment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Part of a Broader Statewide AI Effort\u00a0<\/p>\n

The AML AI Use-Case Catalog is one of several resources available to help Indiana companies accelerate AI adoption.\u00a0IN AI<\/a>, a statewide program led by the CEOs of Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP), brings together partners across technology, education, industry, government and community organizations to help Indiana businesses move from AI awareness to action.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through IN AI, Indiana businesses can also access:\u00a0<\/p>\n

AI Use Cases across sectors \u2014 Browse real examples from companies in finance, construction,\u00a0logistics\u00a0and more.
\nAI Readiness Assessment \u2014 A quick tool to help organizations discover where they stand on the AI maturity curve and what to do next.
\nAI Playbook \u2014 A step-by-step guide to planning and launching AI in your business.
\nStart a Project \u2014 Engage university students to help advance AI projects inside your organization.
\nAI Roadshows & Workshops \u2014 In-person sessions featuring real examples from Indiana companies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Conexus is inviting AML companies across the state to add their own projects to the catalog. The more companies that contribute, the more useful the benchmark becomes for everyone using it. Submitting a project takes less than 10 minutes, and all responses are anonymized before publication.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"News Release Conexus Indiana announced the launch of its\u00a0AI Use-Case Catalog, a new resource that gives Indiana advanced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105241,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8775,24,25,54541,765,54542,1005,1151,31254,54543,1657,54549,54544,54540,54551,8437,54545,7901,1817,54546,54547,1684,14287,54548,23773,781,54550,8118,31262],"class_list":["post-105240","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ag","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-business-services","tag-construction","tag-diversity-and-inclusion","tag-economic-development","tag-finance","tag-gary","tag-green-and-sustainable","tag-health","tag-hoosier","tag-hr-and-insurance","tag-indiana-business","tag-indianapolis","tag-it","tag-last-word","tag-logistics","tag-manufacturing","tag-photo-feature","tag-pro-voices","tag-professional-development","tag-purdue-university","tag-south-bend","tag-st-joseph","tag-tech","tag-terre-haute","tag-tourism","tag-valparaiso"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105240\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105241"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
