Most AI stories are about what it might do. This one is a record of what it did. A year ago, William Grant & Sons put Nexus Black to work right across the business: on the lines where the whisky gets made, in the purchase orders and stock levels behind every barrel and bottle, and deep in the ERP the whole company runs on. Since then, the impact has gathered more pace than they ever expected. Fresh from the main stage, Kriti Sharma sits down with Badri Narasimhan, CIO of William Grant & Sons, to trace that year: the call they made and why, what changed in the first weeks, what it’s freed their people to do, and where the growth is coming from next. Thirty minutes, one real story.

Poka started as a way to put knowledge in the hands of frontline workers. The next era is different. Every operator interaction, resolved issue, and deviation becomes structured memory that compounds, making your operation more resilient, more autonomous-ready, and less dependent on the handful of people who "just know how things work." In this session, Yannick Haeck shares Poka's vision for evolving from a connected worker platform into the operational knowledge infrastructure layer of industrial work, where AI agents move beyond a chat window and into the actual flow of work, and where the knowledge your teams generate on the floor becomes a durable, compounding asset instead of a one-time fix. You'll leave with a clear view of the thinking behind Poka's product direction, and why the platform gets more valuable, not just more feature-rich, the longer you use it.

Every field operation carries the same friction for so long that people stop seeing it: the job done by hand, the fault only one person can place, the work the contract pays for that never gets billed. Resolve takes that out, and it was built with the engineers who live it.
You'll hear how it played out at Eight Group, from the veteran who folded his arms and said he did not need AI to the back office that stopped re-keying the same job by hand. Kevin van Heerden, one of the engineers behind Resolve, and Mo Dawood, the CIO who put it to work, tell both sides. Then where it goes next.
Discover how fast-growing facilities management provider Eight Group is using a common digital backbone to unite diverse businesses without sacrificing their autonomy. Group CIO Mo Dawood shares how IFS CloudService Management, Planning & Scheduling Optimization, and Resolve are helping the group accelerate deployments, automate work, and create a repeatable model for acquisition-led growth.

Only 8.5% of major capital projects finish on time and on budget. The other 91.5% didn't see it coming - they saw it late. Projects lose control a week at a time, and the numbers confirm it once the decision window has closed.

Utility Edge in Action: EAM Work Order Planner and Procurement Intelligence and Benchmarking on IFS

Arpit Kumar Agarwal
PwC
+2 speakers
Utilities adopting IFS Cloud often face a common challenge: turning EAM platforms into something that can reflect how a utility operates — transmission, substation, and distribution asset hierarchies, compliance-driven work management, and the reporting rigor regulators expect.
Our Utility Edge solution can help solve this by providing a pre-configured IFS Cloud environment purpose-built for utilities, with data models already structured for T&D, transmission, and substation operations.
This session will walk you through a demo built on Utility Edge. We start with preconfigured asset hierarchies, introduce a maintenance need, and create work orders. From there, we bring in the EAM Work Order Planner — an AI enabled- solution that can analyze the work order against historical work-order intelligence to help generate a recommended work plan, including tasks, labor, materials, and crews, integrated with IFS Cloud. As the plan surfaces a need for a specialized material, we carry that into procurement and introduce Procurement Intelligence and Benchmarking — a second AI –enabled solution that can evaluate available vendors using procurement history and past performance, review contract and delivery history, recommend the an appropriate supplier, and generate the purchase request directly from within the workflow.
Together, these two solutions in our portfolio — show how business value can be enabled from work order creation and planning through procurement in an overall lifecycle.

Global Group VP · Siemens Digital Industries Software

Global Head of Energy, Chemicals and Infrastructure · Siemens Digital Industries Software
Every work order you execute inherits assumptions made years earlier — in a design basis, a vendor package, a commissioning handover that arrived as a pallet of PDFs. For a 60-year nuclear asset or a transformer fleet outliving three IT systems, those assumptions decay silently until they surface as an outage, a finding, or a capital surprise. This session examines the layer upstream of maintenance execution: the engineering and capital project lifecycle where asset truth is created, and where it is most often lost. Using advanced nuclear and SMR fleet deployment as the sharp-edge case — then generalizing to transmission, distribution, and generation — we show how Siemens Capital Asset Lifecycle Management preserves configuration, change, and regulatory traceability from design through as-built, and hands a live, trustworthy asset twin to the systems that run the plant. We then close the loop the other direction: how IFS.ai — embedded industrial AI across IFS Cloud EAM and Asset Performance Management, and agentic digital workers — turns operating reality back into engineering evidence, so the twin stays honest and the next capital cycle starts from fact rather than folklore

Manufacturing is at an inflection point. The convergence of physical AI, advanced simulation, and intelligent orchestration is redefining what a factory can be. It’s no longer just a place where things are made, but a living, self-optimizing system that thinks, adapts, and acts in real time.
This session introduces a bold new vision for the era of AI-powered engineering and manufacturing. As industrial complexity grows and the pressure to do more with less intensifies, traditional automation is no longer enough. The next frontier demands something fundamentally different: a Physical AI Orchestrator that bridges the digital and physical worlds, coordinating robots, machines, humans, and data flows with unprecedented intelligence and precision.
In this session, we will also explore how simulation is becoming the new engineering backbone, enabling manufacturers to design, test, and optimize entire factory environments virtually before a single bolt is turned. It is allowing teams to validate decisions quickly and at scale, collapsing the cost and risk of innovation.
We will also talk about the new north star - the Autonomous Factory. One where AI doesn't just assist, it orchestrates. Operations self-correct, production lines self-optimize, and supply chain signals are acted upon in real time without human delays. This is no longer a vision for the future, it is being built today and it brings massive efficiencies, unlocking capital from greenfield facilities designed AI-first from the ground up, to brownfield upgrades that breathe new intelligence into existing assets without ripping and replacing.
Whether you're planning a new site or upgrading an existing site, Physical AI Orchestration delivers measurable impact on CAPEX, throughput, quality, and agility.
The factory of the future isn't automated. It's orchestrated.

Most AI stories are about what it might do. This one is a record of what it did. A year ago, William Grant & Sons put Nexus Black to work right across the business: on the lines where the whisky gets made, in the purchase orders and stock levels behind every barrel and bottle, and deep in the ERP the whole company runs on. Since then, the impact has gathered more pace than they ever expected. Fresh from the main stage, Kriti Sharma sits down with Badri Narasimhan, CIO of William Grant & Sons, to trace that year: the call they made and why, what changed in the first weeks, what it’s freed their people to do, and where the growth is coming from next. Thirty minutes, one real story.

Poka started as a way to put knowledge in the hands of frontline workers. The next era is different. Every operator interaction, resolved issue, and deviation becomes structured memory that compounds, making your operation more resilient, more autonomous-ready, and less dependent on the handful of people who "just know how things work." In this session, Yannick Haeck shares Poka's vision for evolving from a connected worker platform into the operational knowledge infrastructure layer of industrial work, where AI agents move beyond a chat window and into the actual flow of work, and where the knowledge your teams generate on the floor becomes a durable, compounding asset instead of a one-time fix. You'll leave with a clear view of the thinking behind Poka's product direction, and why the platform gets more valuable, not just more feature-rich, the longer you use it.

Every field operation carries the same friction for so long that people stop seeing it: the job done by hand, the fault only one person can place, the work the contract pays for that never gets billed. Resolve takes that out, and it was built with the engineers who live it.
You'll hear how it played out at Eight Group, from the veteran who folded his arms and said he did not need AI to the back office that stopped re-keying the same job by hand. Kevin van Heerden, one of the engineers behind Resolve, and Mo Dawood, the CIO who put it to work, tell both sides. Then where it goes next.
Discover how fast-growing facilities management provider Eight Group is using a common digital backbone to unite diverse businesses without sacrificing their autonomy. Group CIO Mo Dawood shares how IFS CloudService Management, Planning & Scheduling Optimization, and Resolve are helping the group accelerate deployments, automate work, and create a repeatable model for acquisition-led growth.

Only 8.5% of major capital projects finish on time and on budget. The other 91.5% didn't see it coming - they saw it late. Projects lose control a week at a time, and the numbers confirm it once the decision window has closed. This opening session for the Projects Track shows what real control takes - six dimensions, one data model and how IFS Intelligence reads the signals early enough to protect the margin.

Utility Edge in Action: EAM Work Order Planner and Procurement Intelligence and Benchmarking on IFS

Arpit Kumar Agarwal
PwC
+2 speakers
Utilities adopting IFS Cloud often face a common challenge: turning EAM platforms into something that can reflect how a utility operates — transmission, substation, and distribution asset hierarchies, compliance-driven work management, and the reporting rigor regulators expect.
Our Utility Edge solution can help solve this by providing a pre-configured IFS Cloud environment purpose-built for utilities, with data models already structured for T&D, transmission, and substation operations.
This session will walk you through a demo built on Utility Edge. We start with preconfigured asset hierarchies, introduce a maintenance need, and create work orders. From there, we bring in the EAM Work Order Planner — an AI enabled- solution that can analyze the work order against historical work-order intelligence to help generate a recommended work plan, including tasks, labor, materials, and crews, integrated with IFS Cloud. As the plan surfaces a need for a specialized material, we carry that into procurement and introduce Procurement Intelligence and Benchmarking — a second AI –enabled solution that can evaluate available vendors using procurement history and past performance, review contract and delivery history, recommend the an appropriate supplier, and generate the purchase request directly from within the workflow.
Together, these two solutions in our portfolio — show how business value can be enabled from work order creation and planning through procurement in an overall lifecycle.

Before the Work Order: Closing the Loop from Design Basis to Asset Performance

Every work order you execute inherits assumptions made years earlier — in a design basis, a vendor package, a commissioning handover that arrived as a pallet of PDFs. For a 60-year nuclear asset or a transformer fleet outliving three IT systems, those assumptions decay silently until they surface as an outage, a finding, or a capital surprise. This session examines the layer upstream of maintenance execution: the engineering and capital project lifecycle where asset truth is created, and where it is most often lost. Using advanced nuclear and SMR fleet deployment as the sharp-edge case — then generalizing to transmission, distribution, and generation — we show how Siemens Capital Asset Lifecycle Management preserves configuration, change, and regulatory traceability from design through as-built, and hands a live, trustworthy asset twin to the systems that run the plant. We then close the loop the other direction: how IFS.ai — embedded industrial AI across IFS Cloud EAM and Asset Performance Management, and agentic digital workers — turns operating reality back into engineering evidence, so the twin stays honest and the next capital cycle starts from fact rather than folklore

Manufacturing is at an inflection point. The convergence of physical AI, advanced simulation, and intelligent orchestration is redefining what a factory can be. It’s no longer just a place where things are made, but a living, self-optimizing system that thinks, adapts, and acts in real time.
This session introduces a bold new vision for the era of AI-powered engineering and manufacturing. As industrial complexity grows and the pressure to do more with less intensifies, traditional automation is no longer enough. The next frontier demands something fundamentally different: a Physical AI Orchestrator that bridges the digital and physical worlds, coordinating robots, machines, humans, and data flows with unprecedented intelligence and precision.
In this session, we will also explore how simulation is becoming the new engineering backbone, enabling manufacturers to design, test, and optimize entire factory environments virtually before a single bolt is turned. It is allowing teams to validate decisions quickly and at scale, collapsing the cost and risk of innovation.
We will also talk about the new north star - the Autonomous Factory. One where AI doesn't just assist, it orchestrates. Operations self-correct, production lines self-optimize, and supply chain signals are acted upon in real time without human delays. This is no longer a vision for the future, it is being built today and it brings massive efficiencies, unlocking capital from greenfield facilities designed AI-first from the ground up, to brownfield upgrades that breathe new intelligence into existing assets without ripping and replacing.
Whether you're planning a new site or upgrading an existing site, Physical AI Orchestration delivers measurable impact on CAPEX, throughput, quality, and agility.
The factory of the future isn't automated. It's orchestrated.

Every investment decision generates a Computational Receipt — a complete, transparent logic trail that exists the moment the decision is made, not assembled months later. This reframes the rate case: from explaining your AI to handing the commission its armor. For PUC-regulated electric, gas, and water utilities, that's the difference between hoping a plan survives review and knowing it will.

A PE-backed facilities group with more than 1,000 people, multiple systems that never talked to each other, and one in four jobs needing a second visit. He will show what happens at the lift, the boiler and the help desk now that Resolve briefs the engineer before they pull up, fixes the fault first time and bills the contract work on the spot. Then he will tell you why he cancelled a separate contract tool the week he saw it.
There are no slides. Mo will run the app, talk through what he sees, and take whatever you want to ask him.
