Where Intelligent Machines Meet

Intelligent Connectivity

A virtual summit uniting factory innovators, robotics pioneers, OT leaders and connectivity architects to unlock AI‑powered autonomy across manufacturing, logistics and energy.

Why an AI‑Robotics & Industrial Automation Summit — and Why Now?

Demand shock

72 % of manufacturers plan to accelerate automation post‑2024 labour shortages—yet 60 % lack AI expertise on the shop floor.

Edge inference meets OT

Modern robots need millisecond control loops and secure, deterministic networking (TSN/5G LAN) to collaborate safely with humans.

Data gravity in plants

Vision systems, digital twins and predictive maintenance create petabytes—connectivity and compute placement define ROI.

Regulatory pressure

New EU Machinery Regulation and NIST AI RMF require explainability, real‑time safety monitoring and secure over‑the‑air updates.


Key Themes

Theme

Sample Question

Collaborative Robots & AI Vision

How do we fuse 3D vision, force feedback and LLM‑based intent recognition?

Deterministic Wireless & TSN

Can Wi‑Fi 7 or 5G LAN meet 1‑ms cycle time in brown‑field plants?

Edge‑Native Digital Twins

Where should physics models run: on‑prem GPU cluster or cloud?

Predictive Maintenance & Fleet Learning

How do we share model updates across 10 000 robots without IP leakage?

Safety & Compliance Automation

How will EU Machinery Regulation shape AI monitoring and shut‑down protocols?
