Smart Agents for Smart Factories

09. June | 9:00 – 16:00

Be honest: many people are talking about AI in the factory.

On 09.06. we’re doing something that can’t be explained in a single post!
What it’s about without saying too much:

What does production look like when AI agents not only “assist”, but also connect end-to-end workflows – from planning to engineering to the store floor?
