Manufacturing and Production Summit: Building AI-Ready Networks for Resources

The resources industry is accelerating toward 90% automation within the next 2–3 years, powered by modern architectures and AI-driven workflows. Yet, persistent challenges—such as rising technical debt, fragmented systems and limited innovation capacity—continue to slow end-to-end automation and AI adoption. Leading enterprises are building next-generation network capabilities to enable AI at scale. These efforts include connecting thousands of assets, integrating complex front- and back- office operations and deploying advanced control centers to support predictive workflows and zero-waste performance. By modernizing infrastructure, implementing robust security frameworks and enabling a seamless IT/OT environment anchored to a unified core, organizations are setting new benchmarks for operational efficiency and innovation across resources and manufacturing. Join us as we explore how this sector is transforming operations through AI-powered networks and automation—delivering resilience, agility and sustainable growth in an era where traditional approaches fall short.
