ARC Advisory Group — Industry Leadership Forum

The forum focuses on scaling AI across industrial operations and supply chains, moving beyond pilots to the systems, architectures, and operating models needed to connect data, decisions, people, and execution. Topics include Physical AI and autonomous operations in machines, automation systems, robotics, and intelligent workflows; human oversight, safety, operator trust, workforce roles, and governance; and integrating data, AI, execution systems, and workforce capabilities to improve safety, productivity, resilience, and performance. Additional themes include AI for planning, scheduling, logistics, production, and asset operations; open digital ecosystems and interoperability; industrial data fabrics connecting OT, IT, engineering, and supply-chain data; MES, MOM, and control systems; asset performance management; and cybersecurity for AI-enabled operations. The program includes workshops, keynotes, executive panels, concurrent sessions, a Supplier Express Forum, an Asset Owner Leadership Forum, breakout sessions, working-group report-outs, and closing commitments. The ARC Industrial Pacesetters program recognizes organizations and teams for technology-enabled operational transformations.
