Manufacturing Reimagined: Building the AI-First Enterprise with Industry 4.0 and Agentic AI

Overview:

Manufacturing is entering a new era where Artificial Intelligence is becoming central to enterprise transformation. As organisations move beyond Industry 4.0, intelligent data platforms, cloud-native architectures, and Agentic AI are redefining how products are designed, factories operate, supply chains respond, and business decisions are made.

 

 

To explore what it takes to build an AI-first manufacturing enterprise, The Times Group, in association with NTT DATA, is convening an exclusive Executive Think Tank for a select group of India’s senior manufacturing technology leaders.

How can manufacturing leaders unlock the full value of enterprise AI?

Strategic Priorities for AI in Manufacturing

As AI adoption accelerates across manufacturing, technology leaders are navigating a new set of strategic priorities:

  • How can manufacturers build trusted AI-ready industrial data platforms?
  • What does it take to move AI from pilots to enterprise-wide adoption?
  • How can organisations successfully converge IT and OT for intelligent operations?
  • What role will Agentic AI play in engineering, production, and supply chains?
  • How should enterprises embed governance, cybersecurity, and responsible AI into transformation?
  • How are leading manufacturers preparing for autonomous, AI-driven operations?
To enable a focused exchange on these priorities, The Times Group, in association with NTT DATA, is bringing together an invitation-only Executive Think Tank for a candid discussion among senior manufacturing technology leaders.

Key Discussion Themes:

Building AI-ready industrial data platforms
IT/OT convergence for intelligent manufacturing
AI-first enterprise operating models
Industrial copilots and Agentic AI
Smart factories and connected operations
Digital engineering and digital twins
Responsible AI, governance & cybersecurity
Scaling AI from pilots to enterprise-wide adoption
Autonomous supply chain orchestration
