The Intelligent Manufacturing Enterprise: Is It Built to Run Your Business?

Most manufacturers have seen what AI can recommend. Far fewer are ready to trust it to act.

The first wave of AI in manufacturing was about insight: dashboards, copilots and smarter reporting. The next wave is agentic. These are systems that don’t just inform your people but act alongside them. That changes the question from “what can AI tell us?” to “what can we trust it to do?” The answer depends less on the model than on what sits underneath it.

This panel discussion with experts from AWS and Infor is built around three topics operations, IT and business leaders are actively working towards right now:

    • A clear place to start. Most manufacturers are closer than they think. Find out which foundations matter most, so AI is built into how you work, not bolted on.
    • Confidence in what to trust. Learn what it takes for AI to make the right call for your business, explain how it got there and stay within the limits your board and regulators set.
    • A view of where the value is. See why connected data matters more than more data, and how linking engineering, service and sales can lift margins, uptime and revenue.

Expect real examples from manufacturers already seeing results, from faster quoting to leaner order-to-cash and warehouse operations. You’ll also get a candid view of what separates manufacturers moving with confidence from those still working out where to start. The common thread is treating AI as a business strategy that works back from outcomes like uptime, margin and predictable revenue, not as an IT project.
