The most valuable AI in industrial businesses is not the chatbot on the website. It is the agentic systems quietly handling scheduling, maintenance, quality checks and procurement, and it rarely makes headlines because it is unglamorous.

This session looks at where agentic AI is actually delivering returns in manufacturing and industrial operations, what separates a system that plans and executes from one that just answers questions, and why that distinction changes the ROI maths entirely.

Attendees will leave able to identify which operational workflows in their own business are candidates, what needs to be true before starting, and how to tell a genuine use case from a vendor demo.
