Deep Dive Focus Day - October 13, 2026

1:00 PM Workshop I: Building a Safer Future with the Agentic Workforce

The next evolution of industrial operations is the agentic workforce, where AI-powered agents work alongside frontline employees to enhance safety, reliability and operational performance. By combining connected worker technologies with industrial AI, organizations can move from reactive decision-making to proactive, intelligent action.

This workshop explores how AI agents can help workers identify risks, anticipate equipment issues, recommend corrective actions and accelerate response times while keeping humans at the center of critical decisions. Participants will learn how the Industrial AI Center serves as a hub for developing and scaling these capabilities. 

Key topics include:

  • The evolution from connected workers to an agentic workforce.
  • AI agents for safety monitoring and risk mitigation.
  • Improving asset reliability through predictive decision support.
  • Building trusted human-AI collaboration models.
  • Practical strategies for scaling industrial AI initiatives.

Join us to discover how the next evolution of industrial operations can empower workers, reduce risk, and create safer, more reliable industrial operations.
