AI, robotics and CNC technologies are rapidly transforming the manufacturing landscape, enabling businesses to boost productivity and rethink the role of labour on the factory floor. Pierre will explain how manufacturers are leveraging the operational data and hands-on knowledge already embedded in their CNC machines and broader plant equipment to drive efficiency gains.

He’ll outline how AI goes beyond basic automation, acting as a smart system that detects patterns, predicts issues, and supports faster, smarter decision-making. By maximising the performance of CNC and other factory-floor machinery, companies can reduce downtime, increase output and maintain agile workflows.
