For Maxion Wheels, the world's largest manufacturer of steel and aluminum wheels, the company’s digital transformation and artificial intelligence journey over the last few years has taken it from having scarce data on the shop floor to a Scalable Industrial AI Platform that connects machine, process and product data to deliver continuous actionable insights and root cause analysis for real-time process improvements. 

As will be detailed in this webinar, the AI platform supports several plant floor use cases and also opens up opportunities for new business models through strategic partnerships. For its efforts in Industrial AI and in developing this platform, Maxion is selected as a finalist in the United States’ National Manufacturers Association 2025 Manufacturing Leadership Awards, in the category of Artificial Intelligence Vision and Strategy.
