AI Frontiers 2025: Driving the Next Revolution in Smart Manufacturing
On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, IIoT World will host AI Frontiers 2025: Driving the Next Revolution in Smart Manufacturing, a free online event bringing together global leaders in AI, industrial data, IIoT, and digital transformation.
This one-day virtual conference explores how manufacturers can move beyond pilots and proofs of concept to achieve scalable, AI-driven operations. Sessions will highlight the technologies and strategies reshaping the industry, from agentic AI and digital twins to real-time data architectures and augmented analytics.
Free tickets are available until September 5, 2025. After that date, only paid passes will be offered.
Highlights from the Agenda
- Keynote (Adlib Software): Why 80% of manufacturing data is unusable by AI — and how global manufacturers are solving the “last mile” problem of data accuracy and trust.
- Agentic AI in Manufacturing (Cybus, Infinite Uptime, AstraZeneca, Frost & Sullivan): Moving from copilots to autonomous, decision-making systems that resolve conflicts and act in real time.
- Wiring the Factory Brain (Cirrus Link, Cumulocity, Karviva Beverages): Designing MQTT-based unified namespaces and real-time data models that feed AI across facilities.
- Predict, Prevent, Optimize (InfluxData, Bosch, CGI): Case studies showing how augmented industrial data improves reliability, reduces downtime, and accelerates root-cause analysis.
- Agentic AI & Integrated Workflows (Arch Systems, ZF Group): Unlocking value from existing OT/IT stacks with minimal infrastructure changes.
- Model Context Protocol (HighByte, Siemens): How MCP provides the secure, contextual backbone for agentic AI strategies in manufacturing.

AI as a Skill Multiplier in Manufacturing, Not a Replacement
As AI tools and automation platforms race ahead, manufacturers face a critical question: is technology helping the workforce, or quietly pushing it aside? In the world of smart manufacturing, the answer is increasingly clear—AI works best not as a substitute
Why AI Success in Manufacturing Starts with Leadership, Not Code
Manufacturers don’t lack AI tools. They lack the readiness to use them well. That was one of the clearest undercurrents at IIoT World’s Manufacturing Day session on generative AI. While the panelists from Siemens, Databricks, and Retrocausal brought technical insights, they
The AI Gap: Can Manufacturing Keep Up With the Pace of Innovation?
AI is moving faster than most industries can digest. According to data cited during a recent IIoT World session, AI capability is now doubling every 3.5 months—a 100x improvement in a single year. That’s not evolution; that’s exponential transformation. For industries
