Pre-Conference Deep Dive Focus Day - Tuesday November 3
1:05 PM Case Study: From Pilot Purgatory to the AI Highway: Why the Roman Roads & Google Maps Foreshadow the Future of Industrial Intelligence
Industrial AI is at a crossroads. Many organizations are rich in pilots but poor in scale. We've seen it before, every leap forward starts with the foundation beneath it. The Roman roads connected an empire, the U.S. highways connected an economy, and Google Maps created a common lens for how the world navigates. Now, asset heavy industries are building their next great network: the AI Highway.
Discover how Albemarle delivered over $150 Million in annual improvements by building an AI Highway, fusing Asset Framework with SPC, Machine Learning, Generative AI, & the standardization of analytics to accelerate decisions and scale impact across global operations. This session reveals how Albemarle transformed isolated pilots into a global infrastructure for Industrial Intelligence, proof that the future of industrial AI won't be built on experiments, but on highways that last.
