AI in Manufacturing & Supply Chain
This description belongs to the 2026 topic catalog. The 2027 program is being prepared separately.
Manufacturing AI spending is growing at 48% year-over-year, driven by digital twins, predictive maintenance, quality control automation, and the integration of physical AI systems. Digital twin technology now enables factories to simulate entire production lines before making physical changes. Predictive maintenance AI is cutting unplanned downtime by 30-50% at leading manufacturers. This topic explores how the convergence of AI and operational technology is creating the intelligent factory of 2026.
