Manufacturers are facing a moment of reckoning. With nearly 30% of factory assets still “in the dark,” the pressure to scale AI beyond pilots and deliver measurable outcomes has never been greater. Without visibility, AI adoption stalls before it can drive value.
​
Cognizant, in partnership with OMRON, invites you to an exclusive executive roundtable at OMRON’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Stuttgart—a world-class innovation hub where transformative solutions for the factory of the future are co-developed. Go behind the scenes, see live demonstrations of AI in action, and learn how leading manufacturers are overcoming barriers to achieve multi-million-dollar savings per plant.
​
This private event brings together senior leaders from across the manufacturing sector to discuss how AI is reshaping factories, accelerating ROI, and unlocking new levels of agility and efficiency. As a delegate, you’ll gain unique access to OMRON’s innovation labs—normally closed to the public—where you’ll experience next-generation AI solutions firsthand, from predictive maintenance and intelligent robotics to autonomous decision-making agents.
​
The day features a guided tour of the ATC, showcasing Factory of the Future use cases, an interactive roundtable moderated by Cognizant and OMRON experts, and concludes with a private networking dinner in Stuttgart—an exclusive opportunity to deepen conversations with peers and industry leaders.
Don’t miss this opportunity to see what it takes to lead in the era of AI-powered manufacturing—and to connect with peers facing the same high-stakes decisions.
