Dark Factories: Making the Invisible Visible to Unlock Untapped Value
SESSION DESCRIPTION
Most manufacturers believe they've hit their limits. They haven't — they just can't see where value is hiding. AI is changing that. From dark factories running 24/7 to digital twins surfacing micro-losses buried across hundreds of variables, the next wave of industrial competitiveness isn't about more machines or more capex. It's about unlocking capacity that already exists — invisible to the human eye, but not to AI.
