Navigating AI Disruption in Manufacturing: the Path to Success

This panel explores the current state of AI in complex product environments, separating real impact from hype. It examines where AI is already creating value, how far we are from the “AI-enabled future,” and what needs to happen to get there.

Bringing together industry leaders, technology providers, and consulting experts, the discussion will focus on how organizations are turning complexity into opportunity. A key theme is the role of a strong data backbone, governance, and configuration foundations as the true differentiators, enabling companies to scale AI and drive competitive advantage.

Topics include:

• Where AI is already delivering real value, and where it is not
• The gap between today’s capabilities and the “AI-enabled” future
• Why data alone is not enough: the role of product logic and configuration
• How to establish a robust data backbone and governance across systems
• What it takes to turn product complexity into scalable growth and differentiation

Moderated by Damantha Boteju, Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO) at Configit, bringing deep expertise in product strategy and digital transformation.
