Machines that talk: How Toyota drives innovation in manufacturing with Kordel France

As one of the world’s largest car manufacturers, Toyota is giving
its machines a voice using AI as a trusted partner to transform
how cars are built and serviced.


In this episode, we speak with Kordel France, Principal AI
Engineer & AI Architect at Toyota, to uncover how artificial
intelligence is reshaping production and maintenance globally.


We explore how Toyota has moved from technicians spending hours
sifting through thousands of pages of manuals to intelligent
systems that can diagnose faults in seconds and even predict
breakdowns before they happen. Kordel explains the technical
architecture behind these solutions, blending classical machine
learning with generative AI, and the challenges of creating
specialised systems from general-purpose models.


You’ll also hear why high-quality data ingestion is more
important than the model itself, how even a relatively small
number of users can drive asymmetric improvements in efficiency,
and what Toyota’s collaboration with NLX means for service
technicians working across increasingly complex powertrains.
