AI Disruption in Manufacturing

AI is everywhere. In the headlines, in the boardroom, and increasingly on the factory floor.

And for good reasons!

It is not a question of whether AI will disrupt manufacturing, but a question of when and how.

For manufacturing executives, the challenge is making the right investment choices that will ensure that you are the disruptor and not the disrupted.

In this keynote, Damantha Boteju, CPTO at Configit, explores how C-level executives can navigate the current AI landscape. The keyword is “Trust”; trust that AI investments will deliver the outcomes needed and trust that the technology is reliable. AI can accelerate “time-to-prototype”, but what about “time-to-trust”?

AI alone cannot deliver time-to-trust. Not without ensuring that a reliable, end-to-end, connected data foundation is established first that can deliver the dependable data that AI needs to be trustworthy.

Outcomes at a glance:

• Use AI where it adds value
• Rethink operations, not just automation
• Combine AI with trusted data
