How AI is transforming manufacturing operations from engineering to revenue execution

09 July 2026
10:00am ET | 3:00pm London | 4:00pm CET
Duration: 50 Minutes


Manufacturers are entering a new phase of industrial transformation where the challenge is no longer simply digitising operations, but connecting fragmented systems, workflows and decision-making processes across the enterprise. While manufacturers have invested heavily in ERP, MES, PLM and supply chain technologies, many organisations still struggle with operational silos, manual interventions, disconnected execution and slow order-to-cash cycles that create inefficiency, operational friction and revenue leakage.
 
At the same time, advances in AI, agentic automation and intelligent workflow orchestration are creating opportunities to move beyond isolated automation projects towards more connected and adaptive manufacturing operations. This webinar will explore how manufacturers are using AI-driven operational intelligence to improve visibility, accelerate execution, reduce process friction and align engineering, operations and commercial performance more effectively across increasingly complex industrial environments.
