ARC’s European Industry Forum is part of our successful series of worldwide conferences in Europe, America and Asia. The next European Forum will be held in Sitges (Barcelona), Spain on May 5-7, 2025 and focus on “One Step Beyond: How to Achieve Next-Level Production”. Participants are invited to attend exclusive presentations and workshops on strategies and case studies from the digital front lines.
ARC industry analysts and other experts from the end user and supplier communities will analyze and discuss trends and drivers for hot industry topics, such as:
Industrial-grade Artificial Intelligence
In the realm of industrial technology, trends tend not to change as rapidly as they do in the consumer goods sector. Thus, the transition from the fascinating concept of the "Industrial Metaverse" to the more immediate practical focus on "Industrial AI" represents a significant shift. In the swiftly advancing field of artificial intelligence within industry, including the automation sector, the manufacturers, industrial enterprises, traditional IT firms, and standardization bodies will truly shape its impact.
Industrial-grade AI must be developed to meet the stringent standards and requirements specific to various challenging industrial settings. Consequently, it must adhere to the core principles of Safety and Security in Automation. This kind of AI is distinguished by its dependability, robustness, and scalability, making it apt for managing extensive datasets generated by machines and identifying intricate patterns.
AI, Predictive Maintenance, Cyber Security, & Trusted Data
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various industries by increasing efficiency and optimizing processes. A key area in manufacturing and for industrial plants where AI techs still have significant potential is maintenance. Predictive maintenance can anticipate and prevent machine failures, helping to reduce downtime and operating costs. In addition, the interaction of “classic” ML models with generative AI in the industrial environment can help to ensure the rationalization of processes, to overcome daily challenges quickly and autonomously in order to achieve optimal efficiency.
While comprehensive regulatory approaches such as the EU AI Act or NIS2 are already on their way and companies are in the process of reaping the benefits of AI, attention must continue to be focused on creating a solid foundation for AI.
This includes data foundations for AI, role-based measures to ensure responsible and trustworthy use of AI. Companies should also consider the new threats and opportunities associated with AI to protect the organization.
By integrating AI into their cybersecurity strategies, organizations can build a more resilient and robust defense against evolving cyber threats.
