Are leaders making the right operational decisions that correlate to better business outcomes? Do AI and manufacturing software help? Join this panel-style webinar on IndustryWeek October 27, 2026, at Noon Eastern time to learn from a new survey and experienced manufacturing pros from companies of all sizes.
Research firm Tech-Clarity’s survey of over 400 professionals shows that manufacturing operations software and AI solutions deliver concrete benefits – typically within a year, sometimes in 3 months!
Join this webinar to hear a panel of manufacturing executives share what they’ve learned as they have improved operational visibility and decision-making. Each has rolled out plantwide or operations-wide software or AI for production execution, maintenance, quality, and/or inventory, and will discuss best practices. They will also share whether their software investments are living up to expectations.
You will learn:
- How each of these manufacturers gained business value from plantwide or operations-wide software
- Where challenges still lie in gaining maximum benefits
- What these leading manufacturers believe lies ahead for their business as AI matures
- Why the time for MES and AI investment is now to remain competitive
- The role of a Center of Excellence to keep the focus and overcome hurdles
