Billion Dollar industries beyond the shiny objects

this isn’t targeted towards anyone so keep reading or don’t… idc

beyond the AI hype, the not so complex industries/solutions (whatever that might be), and the need to work on shiny objects, lay great opportunities for massive businesses.

I have worked in manufacturing as an engineer and encountered many problems that can be solved with technology. I have investigated opportunities within supply chain, healthcare, defense, and pharmacy management. From my conclusions, there’s definitely great opportunities for the ones who are willing to deliver solutions to the deep rooted problems within these industries.

to give an example, there’s a major demand for skilled machinists within all sectors manufacturing. At my previous job, we had about 12 machinists running 12 machines. Imagine the cost associated with that. Now imagine automation reducing the number of machinists needed by automating some of the tasks.

Imagine if you could predict drug shortages using pharmacy data? Imagine if you could increase visibility within the supply chain by leveraging data, determined bottlenecks, and reduced costs?

too many smart people seem to be working on things that do not deliver much value. Seriously, how many damn AI assistants do we need? Go beyond the shiny objects and dig for the gold.
