Where in industrial processing and machinery is AI already being used?
The goal of the event is to showcase real industrial AI deployments with proven business benefits, and to explain how machine – human collaboration has helped to optimize industrial processes and innovate new products.
Location: Virtual and on-demand video channel
Live dates: March 24–26, 2021
Time: 8:30am – 4pm CET
Why is this important?
AI in industrial (manufacturing, energy) applications is at the beginning of its life cycle. According to a very recent analyst report*, in the near term only 14% of companies will have adopted AI solutions, but in 3 to 7 years an additional 83% will join the club. So now is the time to prepare for this wave and if you aim to be an innovation leader to engage.
Who should attend?
The event will provide insights into real AI client projects. It is suitable for both technology and operations management as well as R&D and innovation decision makers. In particular, strategy and business development officers will be able to profit by getting insights into what is real and what is hype, what can be done now and what will need more research work in the coming years.
What will you learn?
How AI is used in industrial processes and industrial machinery products. The challenges, opportunities and realized business benefits.
Whom will you meet?
You can have 1:1 online meetings with participants as well as the speakers.
Can I watch it also later?
Yes, you will first need to register in order to gain access to our video channel where the talks and panels can be re- watched.
