Shaping the AI-Powered Factory of the Future
Description
The future of manufacturing isn’t waiting for AI—it’s already taking shape around it.
Join us for an exclusive look at the Future of Manufacturing Project’s latest survey report, Shaping the AI-Powered Factory of the Future. This expert-led panel will explore how manufacturers are laying the groundwork for AI transformation—even as many are still early in their journeys.
Survey findings show strong momentum: 68% of respondents believe AI will be foundational to future competitiveness, and investments are ramping up across the board. Yet challenges remain—from data quality and accessibility to talent shortages and from unclear leadership to legacy systems. Success will require strategic alignment, steady scaling and the agility to adapt fast.
Whether you’re deep in deployment or just starting to explore AI’s role in your operations, this session will surface early signals, emerging trends and the real-world obstacles manufacturers are navigating now. Get a first look at what’s driving progress—and what may hold it back—in the race to build smarter, more competitive factories of the future.
