Scaling digital workflows and connected worker technologies across global manufacturing is complex. Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM) is addressing this challenge with a frontline-first strategy, disciplined governance and a focus on measurable ROI.

We sat down with Tara Tolly, ADM's Vice President, Process Optimization & Transformation - Global Operations, to discuss:

• How ADM builds a structured, repeatable approach for evaluating new technologies
• Which connected worker project at ADM has had the biggest impact on improved frontline operations
• How ADM decides whether a new connected worker tool is worth piloting
• What the biggest drivers behind ADM's investment priority are and how they ensure frontline worker buy-in
• And more!

The Connected Worker Summit Series enabled Detect Technologies to accelerate enterprise sales, unlock stalled pipeline and scale nationally through focused, high‑care engagement.

In this Sponsorship Spotlight you will learn how:
