CIO Roundtable: Industrial AI & IIoT for Manufacturing Efficiency

Driving Efficiency and Resilience in Manufacturing

Manufacturing is evolving from mechanical precision to intelligent adaptability. In this new era of adaptive manufacturing, powered by industrial AI and IIoT, factories don’t just operate — they think, predict, and respond.

From autonomous decision-making to predictive maintenance and real-time optimization, technology is reshaping every link in the value chain, driving agility, resilience, and profitability.

In collaboration with AWS and Cognite, we invite you to an exclusive executive roundtable on how industrial AI is transforming operations — from the shop floor to the boardroom. We will explore how agentic AI, data orchestration, and connected ecosystems are delivering measurable business outcomes today.

This private forum is designed for leaders to exchange ideas, share successes, and define the roadmap for the next generation of smart manufacturing. Join us to co-create the future

Key Themes We Will Explore

Adaptive Manufacturing, powered by AI and IIoT, can deliver tangible, measurable outcomes across operations.

Predictive maintenance

Use AI to forecast equipment failures before they occur, reducing unplanned downtime and repair costs.

  • Up to 20% productivity gain
  • 10% reduction in maintenance costs

Real-time MES analytics

Gain live visibility into OEE, performance, and energy usage to enhance responsiveness and efficiency.

  • 5–10% OEE improvement
  • 10–25% increase in labor productivity
  • 10–20% energy savings

AI for smart maintenance

Optimize schedules, spare parts, and workforce planning with adaptive AI models that learn continuously.

  • 5% increase in uptime
  • 10–20% reduction in spare part usage

AI for predictive quality

Optimize schedules, spare parts, and workforce planning with adaptive AI models that learn continuously.

  • 1–5% increase in uptime
  • 10–20% reduction in spare part usage

The adaptive manufacturing roadmap

Discuss how industry leaders are combining agentic AI, data orchestration, and human expertise to build factories that think, learn, and evolve.
