Event Overview

AI-driven manufacturing — from predictive maintenance to robotics and digital twins — demands more than processing power. Real-time insights at the edge require networks that are fast, secure and built for IT/OT convergence. In this webinar hosted by ISMG and sponsored by Sify, industry leaders will discuss how next-gen network architectures, edge intelligence and AI-managed operations can help manufacturers unlock automation, reduce downtime and scale innovation without adding complexity.

Discussion Points:

  • Build AI-ready, low-latency networks to support predictive maintenance, robotics, and digital twin applications;

  • Securely integrate IT and OT environments, bridging legacy control systems with modern infrastructure;

  • Leverage AI-managed network operations for predictive fault detection, automated traffic optimization, and downtime prevention.
