Hear from industry leaders
Confirmed speakers and contributors include:
Manufacturers are investing in AI, data platforms and connected operations. The challenge is turning those investments into measurable performance
requires integration with existing systems, workforce confidence and a clear connection to an operational decision.
The same applies across the wider transformation agenda. Digital twins depend on accurate plant data. Greater IT / OT connectivity can improve visibility but increase cyber exposure. Cloud and edge decisions raise questions around resilience, latency and control. Governance also has to work at plant level, where people need to understand and trust the data they use.
