WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY

Three moves to
production.

01

Scale industrial AI across plants

Move proven models across plants with the governance, talent, and infrastructure needed for sustained adoption.

02

Modernize connected factory operations

Connect people, equipment, and data to improve throughput while keeping production stable.

03

Reduce operational risk at scale

Design secure, resilient systems for an increasingly connected industrial environment.

AGENDA

Six sessions.
One working day.

9:00 AM ET

Scaling Industrial AI Across the Modern Enterprise

OPENING KEYNOTE / 45 MIN

Industrial AI is moving from isolated pilots into everyday operations. This opening keynote examines the decisions that help manufacturers scale proven systems across plants: where to focus first, how to equip teams, and how to keep performance, governance, and value visible as adoption grows.

10:00 AM ET

Building the Data Foundation for Scalable Industrial AI

PANEL / 50 MIN

Production-scale AI depends on more than collecting more data. This session looks at how manufacturers can connect operational data, machine context, enterprise systems, and domain knowledge into a foundation that AI systems can actually use. The panel will examine practical approaches to data architecture, interoperability, governance, and context so teams can move from fragmented experiments toward reliable intelligence across real production environments.
