Manufacturing’s Next Competitive Edge
Featured Product from Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Manufacturing has entered a new phase where success is no longer defined by adopting technology — but by executing at scale. In this webinar, we’ll break down the key findings from the 2026 State of Smart Manufacturing Report and explore how manufacturers are turning digital transformation into measurable operational performance. Learn why 90% of manufacturers now view digital transformation as essential to competitiveness, and how the industry is shifting from pilots to enterprise-wide execution.
We’ll examine how AI and machine learning are becoming core operational capabilities across quality, optimization, cybersecurity and decision-making, with adoption expected to accelerate significantly by 2030. The session will also address the growing importance of resilience and cybersecurity as operations become more connected and autonomous. With nearly half of manufacturers experiencing cyber incidents in the past year, secure and integrated architectures are now critical to sustaining performance. Join us to discover what separates industry leaders from the rest — and why the next decade of manufacturing will be defined by operational discipline, connected intelligence and the ability to execute consistently at scale.
- Discover why manufacturing is in an execution led phase where results depend on scaling and operational discipline.
- Learn how AI is becoming a core operational capability, with value driven by how effectively it is deployed.
- Understand where greater autonomy and connectivity are elevating resilience and security as performance requirements.
