From Digital Thread to Operational AI: Scaling Trusted Intelligence in Manufacturing

Manufacturers are investing heavily in AI, yet many initiatives struggle to move beyond isolated pilots and deliver measurable operational impact. 

This session explores the evolution from experimentation to Operational AI, where enterprise knowledge, industrial systems, and intelligent agents work together to support faster, more informed decision-making across manufacturing operations. 

We'll discuss how leading organizations are building trusted AI environments through grounded knowledge, governed actions, and control over their data and intelligence. Attendees will gain practical insights into the foundations required to scale AI beyond productivity use cases and into mission-critical operations. 

The session will highlight emerging approaches, lessons learned, and a framework for enabling humans and AI to collaborate effectively across the manufacturing enterprise. 

Key Takeaway: Learn how manufacturers are building the trusted foundation needed to move from AI pilots to operational impact at scale.
