AI in Action on the Shop Floor
See digital, human, and automated workers resolve production exceptions together in real time, closing the integration gap between planning, production, and warehouse execution.
Keynotes That Shape What's Next
Hear from manufacturing leaders who closed the gap between strategy and shop floor, and are now running Industrial AI at real-world scale with measurable results.
AI Startup Hall
Discover Industrial AI companies solving manufacturing problems with no good answer until now, from shop floor visibility to intelligent supply chain orchestration and production optimization.
Manufacturing Breakouts
Build your agenda around the execution priorities that protect your margin. Sessions cover throughput, delivery performance, ERP modernization, supply chain resilience and the planning-to-production gap that costs manufacturers most.
