The Industrial AI Summit
Built for the plant floor, not the keynote stage.
Industrial AI gets talked about in slide decks. This summit is about what happens after, when an idea hits the floor of a real plant, with real operators, real engineers, and real plant knowledge that lives in people's heads.
We're bringing together a small group of senior leaders from Japanese chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, and materials companies, alongside the consulting firms partnering with them, for a focused half-day.
Here's an overview of what to expect — we can't wait to see you there.
Schedule
12:00 - 13:00
Registration
13:00 – 14:00
Opening Remarks
Shigemitsu Hayashi opens the afternoon with context on why this group is in the room together. A short framing of the summit's intent, the format of the day, and how the sessions connect, from keynote through demo to dinner. Sets expectations that this is a working session, not a showcase.
13:00 – 14:00
Opening Keynote
Moe Tanabian on where industrial AI is actually heading, drawn from real deployments rather than projections. The talk focuses on what plant-knowledge digitization unlocks for process industries, the patterns IntuigenceAI is seeing across chemicals, pharma, and energy, and where the technology is mature versus still emerging. Includes a candid view on what AI cannot yet do on the plant floor.
14:00 – 14:30
Guest Keynote
14:30 – 15:00
Microsoft Fabric as the data foundation for Industrial AI
A Microsoft representative walks through why the data layer determines whether industrial AI succeeds or stalls. How Fabric unifies historian data, engineering documents, and operational systems into a foundation that AI agents can reason over. Why most industrial AI pilots fail at the data stage, and what a working architecture looks like.
15:00 – 15:45
Product Talk + Live Demo
Armin and Pegah present IntuigenceAI's plant engineer agent on real anonymized plant data. The session moves through three concrete workflows, document retrieval across P&IDs and SOPs, reasoning across engineering disciplines, and citation-backed answers operators can trust. No staged demos, the audience sees the actual product responding to live prompts. Pegah joins remotely for the deeper technical walkthrough.
15:45 – 16:15
Coffee Break
16:15 – 17:00
Panel Discussion
All speakers on stage, moderated by Hayashi. The discussion opens with the hard questions, what does responsible deployment look like, how do you measure ROI on a plant-knowledge system, where does human judgment stay in the loop. The second half is fully audience-driven Q&A. This is the session designed for the questions that don't fit in a keynote.
17:00 – 17:15
Closing
Hayashi closes the program with a synthesis of the afternoon and a clear handoff into the networking dinner. Recap of the four take-aways available to attendees, executive briefing, knowledge mapping workshop, pilot design sprint, and sandbox access. Practical guidance on what to discuss over dinner and how to follow up.
