Automation to Autonomy: How to Build Autonomous Supply Chains and Smarter Operations with AI

Описание: AI is no longer just optimizing processes—it’s redefining the entire industrial playbook.

In this high-impact conversation, senior leaders from Gilead Sciences and McCain Foods explore how AI is moving beyond automation to enable truly autonomous operations in manufacturing and supply chains. They discuss the convergence of causal, agentic, and physical AI, and how these technologies are reshaping everything from predictive maintenance and quality control to workforce upskilling and operational resilience.

You’ll hear how embedded AI agents are being deployed directly into OT environments, how pharma leaders are balancing innovation with regulatory compliance, and why building resilience—from cybersecurity to disaster recovery—is non-negotiable in the factory of the future.

This session goes deep on what’s changing—and what’s not—as companies move toward fully autonomous, AI-integrated operations.
