Discovering the AI trends emerging in maintenance across manufacturing and power plants
Conversation Context
Why this round table is being convened
Maintenance is no longer discussed only in terms of scheduled servicing, breakdown response and asset availability. As plants generate more operational data, and as AI tools become more accessible, maintenance is becoming an area of renewed attention for industrial leaders.
The purpose of this round table is to explore what is changing. Where is AI entering the maintenance function? Which use cases are becoming more visible? What kinds of AI-led approaches are maintenance teams evaluating? Which trends appear promising, and which are still early?
The discussion will seek to uncover the emerging and prominent AI trends shaping maintenance across manufacturing and power plant environments, through the perspective of leaders who understand the realities of plant operations, asset reliability and uptime.
AI is beginning to influence how maintenance leaders think about uptime, reliability, asset health, inspection, planning and operational continuity. Across manufacturing plants and power plants, new approaches are emerging around predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, computer vision, robotic inspection, digital twins, CMMS/EAM integration, generative AI, agentic AI assistance and data-led reliability workflows.
Yet the landscape is still evolving. Some trends are becoming prominent, some remain early, and some are still unclear in terms of adoption, maturity and operational value. The important question is how maintenance leaders are seeing these shifts from within real plant and asset environments.
Core question for the conversation
What AI trends are emerging in maintenance, and how are they likely to shape the future of uptime in manufacturing and power plants?
The round table will examine this question through a practical, peer-led discussion focused on real trends, visible shifts, current observations and near-term possibilities.
Discussion Themes
7 Themes. 1 Focused Conversation.
A structured peer discussion that moves from broad AI shifts in maintenance to specific use cases, adoption realities and near-term possibilities across manufacturing and power plant environments.
Conversation Outcomes
What the round table seeks to uncover
The discussion will seek to identify specific insights across seven areas where AI and maintenance intersect:
Who Should Participate
Built for senior leaders in maintenance, reliability and plant operations
This round table is designed for senior leaders involved in maintenance, reliability, operations, plant performance and industrial transformation across manufacturing and power generation environments. Participation is by invitation and registration of interest.
Format
How the session is structured
The session will be a moderated virtual round table with a small group of invited senior leaders. The format is designed to maximise peer exchange — the emphasis is on practical observations, real perspectives and trend discovery - not presentations.
