Featured Session: Meet Your New Coworker: AI Agents as Digital Workers on the Manufacturing Frontline
Manufacturing & Supply Chain Track
AI is quickly changing from a tool manufacturers ask for answers to one that can actively support and execute work.
In this session, Chris will explore how Industrial AI Agents can work alongside frontline teams, using real operational and workforce context to support use cases across manufacturing operations, maintenance, quality, training, safety, and continuous improvement.
Attendees will learn how AI Agents can:
- Provide workers with contextual guidance and knowledge at the point of work
- Automate routine tasks and workflows across frontline operations
- Analyze operational data and surface opportunities for improvement
- Support faster troubleshooting and root cause analysis
- Help manufacturers capture and act on frontline knowledge
- Connect workforce skills, performance, and work execution data to operational decisions
- Move from AI-generated insights to meaningful action on the factory floor
A New Way to Interact with Industrial Software
Chris will also share how the latest innovations in the Augie™ Industrial AI Suite are changing the way manufacturing teams interact with industrial software.
With Augie Command Center, manufacturers can use natural language to analyze work, build dashboards, configure workflows, schedule and assign work, and create and deploy Industrial AI Agents. Instead of navigating applications, menus, and report builders, operational experts can simply describe what they want to accomplish.
Augie Procedure Studio extends that conversational experience to frontline procedures. Manufacturers can start with an existing SOP, video, image, or even a simple description, and Augie creates an interactive digital procedure that can be previewed and refined through conversation.
Together, these capabilities represent a shift from learning how to use complex industrial software to simply expressing intent—giving the people who know the operation a more direct way to turn their expertise into action.
Hear What’s Next for Industrial AI
