Smarter Flow: Applying AI and Industry 4.0 to Transform Wisconsin Manufacturing
UWEBC is proud to support this partner event by the Wisconsin IoT Council.
- 3:00 PM
Description
Wisconsin manufacturers are using AI and connected technologies to make their operations faster, smarter, and more responsive. Join us in Milwaukee for the WI IoT Council’s year-end symposium to hear how industry and university leaders are using data and innovation to reshape manufacturing across Wisconsin.
The morning program will feature presentations from Charter Steel and Milwaukee Tool with practical case studies on how they are applying AI and real-time data to improve their operations. The program also includes a panel discussion with three Wisconsin manufacturers on how they are turning data into better decisions.
After lunch, we will tour the Connected Systems Institute (CSI) for an applied innovation session. Attendees will see CSI’s pilot production line and digital twin in action, demonstrating how real-time data is helping manufacturers move from experimentation to measurable results. The session will conclude at the Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab, where participants can see first-hand how global AI and cloud resources are extending the state’s manufacturing capabilities.
This event brings together business, technology, and academic voices to highlight what’s next for smart manufacturing in Wisconsin, and how companies of all sizes can take the next step.
