Tech Roadmap for Industrial AI: Investment Advice for Manufacturers

AI is only as powerful as the data foundation and enabling technologies that support it. While Generative and Agentic AI are gaining momentum in industrial environments, their success depends on the underlying infrastructure.

To help industrial leaders build their AI investment strategy, Verdantix analysts developed a Tech Roadmap that evaluates 18 core technologies supporting the deployment and scale of Industrial AI—from edge computing to AI agents.

In this webinar, John Harrington, Chief Product Officer at HighByte, joins Malavika Tohani, Research Director at Verdantix, to break down the report’s key findings. Together, they’ll discuss where early adopters are seeing impact and how data management technology like Industrial DataOps is supporting AI initiatives that scale.

Attendees will also hear from Christoph Berlin, General Manager at Microsoft, who will share how his team is turning Agentic AI experimentation from concept into reality.

Agenda

• See which technologies are enabling AI adoption across industrial environments today
• Learn how to prioritize technology investments based on maturity, business value, and pace of innovation
