Manufacturing and process industries face unprecedented pressure to optimize operations, reduce energy costs, and turn installed equipment into revenue-generating assets. While the vision of smart, data-driven factories is clear, the path from ambition to operational impact remains complex. Join Flanders Make, Solita, Databricks, and Litmus for an executive session that cuts through the hype. 

We’ll show how proven architectures, purpose-built accelerators, and real customer deployments are delivering measurable results from energy optimization and fleet intelligence to agentic AI-driven root cause analysis. Engage with industry peers and technology experts during an extended networking dinner. No theory. Just practical approaches that work.

What you’ll learn

  • You’ll discover how leading industrial organizations are reducing operational costs through intelligent energy management and autonomous problem-solving. We’ll show you the business case for industrial AI from faster time-to-market with pre-built accelerators that de-risk investments, to measurable outcomes like reduced energy consumption, improved fleet uptime, and accelerated issue resolution.

  • You’ll explore how autonomous AI agents are transforming operational decision-making, enabling your teams to shift from reactive firefighting to proactive optimization and continuous improvement at scale.
  • Beyond the technology, you’ll gain clarity on what it takes to succeed: the strategic choices that separate pilots from production deployments, how to build business value incrementally rather than big-bang transformations, and the organizational capabilities needed to make industrial intelligence a lasting competitive advantage
