​​Session IV:
As intelligent systems extend beyond software and into robots, drones, and physical machines, industry leaders are discovering how difficult it is to deliver AI in the real world. Safety, reliability, and customization remain major hurdles, while fragmented OT data and siloed infrastructure slow down progress. We’ll explore how modern data architectures, GenAI, and open-source industrial protocols are turning raw operational data into AI-ready pipelines—finally enabling real-time AI agents that can analyze, predict, and act on factory floors and physical assets. The session will cover the technical gaps, the role of DataOps, and what it takes to make Physical & Agentic AI truly deployable at scale.

​Takeaway Question:
What must change in today’s industrial data and infrastructure stack to safely accelerate the deployment of Physical & Agentic AI across real-world operations?
