ML, admittedly, requires the use of specific statistical and IT skills that few people yet have, or have needed in manufacturing. But its principles are quite simple – and even intuitive to grasp.

To put it simply, language translation software has long been based on programming dictionaries, grammatical rules and their numerous exceptions. This approach involves considerable effort.
