AGENDA
9:00 AM ET
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
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.



11:15 AM ET
As plants connect more equipment, systems, and people, operational security becomes part of production reliability. This expert talk explores how to protect industrial networks, manage access, and respond to threats without disrupting the workflows that keep factories running.

1:00 PM ET
Automation works best when it supports the people and processes already on the floor. This panel looks at practical ways to connect robotics, controls, and decision support, and at the operational changes needed to improve throughput without adding fragility.



2:15 PM ET
Predictive maintenance is valuable when insights reach the right team at the right moment. This case study follows the work of turning asset signals into useful maintenance decisions, from data quality and model validation to adoption across multiple production lines.


3:15 PM ET
The closing roundtable brings together leaders from operations, strategy, and AI systems to discuss the next barriers to scale. They will consider the skills, infrastructure, governance, and collaboration needed to make industrial intelligence dependable across the enterprise.
