Databricks Data + AI Summit

Join HighByte at Data + AI Summit 2026, the premier conference for the global data, analytics, and AI community. Hosted by Databricks, this year's event brings together thousands of data leaders, engineers, developers, and AI practitioners for four days of sessions, training, networking, and innovation focused on the future of data and AI.

Don’t miss Jeffrey Schroeder’s session at the Partner Innovation Showcase, “From Factory Floor to AI-Ready: Building Industrial Data Pipelines for Databricks,” on Thursday, June 18 at 1:10 pm PDT.

Industrial data presents unique challenges due to its volume, velocity, variety, and lack of context across systems like PLCs, SCADA, historians, MES, lab instrumentation, and more. In this session, Jeffrey will explore how Industrial DataOps prepares and contextualizes industrial data at the edge to create governed, AI-ready data products optimized for Databricks lakehouse architectures.

The session will also highlight how Gousto, a UK meal-kit manufacturer, leveraged HighByte, AWS, and Databricks to build a Unified Namespace and Lakehouse architecture that enabled automated fault detection, ML-driven predictive maintenance, and digital twins—increasing equipment availability to 98%, improving throughput by 10%, and scaling operations from 40 to 200 weekly recipes without sacrificing efficiency.

Attendees will gain practical strategies for engineering industrial data pipelines that support real-time analytics, AI, and intelligent industrial applications with Databricks.
