Industry is moving past proofs of concept and into strategic deployments of AI, focusing on applications that deliver measurable performance improvements. AI-powered predictive maintenance, digital twins and energy optimization are becoming mainstays of enhanced reliability and throughput, while emerging agentic and physical AI systems are beginning to influence how work is executed. At the same time, organizations must strengthen data foundations across the full lifecycle and adopt governance practices that support responsible use of AI in complex, safety‑critical settings. 

This panel will explore where value is being realized today and what it takes to scale AI across engineering, operations and asset management. The discussion will highlight how AVEVA and Schneider Electric are enabling industrial customers to take a pragmatic approach that drives AI innovation while managing real-world operational constraints for greater agility, resilience and sustainability, harnessing the power of energy and industrial intelligence.
