Guide to Manufacturing & Distribution Sessions at Data + AI Summit 2021

 
Data + AI Summit is the global event for the data community, where 100,000 practitioners, leaders and visionaries come together to engage in thought-provoking discussions and dive into the latest innovations in data and AI. For those in manufacturing and distribution, this will be an opportunity to learn from industry leaders about how they are using AI to create resilient, yet efficient, supply chains; meet sustainability and yield goals through a smart factory; and anticipate and meet customer demand during volatile times.

At this year’s Data + AI Summit, we’re excited to announce a full agenda of sessions for data teams in the manufacturing & distribution industry. Leading innovators from across the industry – including Rolls-Royce, John Deere, Henkel, Thyssen Kruppe and ExxonMobil – are joining us to share how they are using data to transform their businesses into Equipment-as-a-Service, leveraging IoT and unstructured real-time data for predictive maintenance and develop the shop floors of tomorrow.

Manufacturing & Distribution Industry Forum

Join us on May 26 for our capstone Manufacturing & Distribution industry event as leaders in the industry engage in a panel discussion on the future of manufacturing and how organizations can thrive during even the most turbulent times with data and AI. John Deere will kick off with a keynote address around how they are leading the charge as a smart industrial company through precision agriculture, helping their customers increase yields applying AI to the millions of data points generated every day from their machines around the world.

Manufacturing & distribution tech talks

Here’s an overview of some of our most highly anticipated sessions at this year’s summit:
