Refreshment Break
Workshop 1 — Your Industrial AI Playbook
A field-tested framework for scaling AI across safety and operations.
Most industrial AI initiatives stall after the pilot. Not because the technology fails, but because nobody mapped what success actually takes. This session draws on patterns across dozens of AI rollouts across operations and safety teams: where programs get stuck, business cases that land internally, and what separates teams who scale from ones who stay stuck. You'll leave with a clearer read on your own program's blockers and a peer-tested path past them.
- •Why most AI pilots never scale: the recurring failure patterns across safety and operations rollouts
- •Building a business case that survives budget scrutiny
- •Getting buy-in across functions: what different departments need
- •A practical framework for scaling AI, from first pilot to standard practice
- •Group discussion: naming your own program's specific sticking point and hearing how peers solved it

Workshop 2 — Your Site's Context Map
A working session for mapping your program's real blind spots.
Every operation has that one person who knows why an alarm doesn't matter, why the numbers moved, why a process really works the way it does. None of it's written down. That gap between what your systems record and what your team knows is why AI pilots stall: Gartner puts pilot abandonment near 60%, not from bad models, but from missing context. In this session, you'll map your own site's version of that context gap: the SOPs, people, and systems behind it, and how to account for them.
- •The hidden context gap between what your team and systems know
- •A live mapping exercise: charting the SOPs, people, and information behind a shared operational pain
- •One zone, site-wide context: why teams each catch something the others miss, and what to do about it
- •What changes once that context is captured: a look at a connected, queryable model of your site in practice
- •Actionable takeaways to make your AI implementation successful
