The MAINSTREAM Lecture

The Intelligent Factory: How AI is Changing Everything

Jeff Winter – Industry 4.0 Analyst & Enthusiast

AI is not a tool. It’s a structural capability that fundamentally changes decision speed, accountability, and execution. One of the world's leading voices inIndustry 4.0, Jeff Winter, introduces the Intelligent Factory: not a collection of smarter machines, but an enterprise-wide operating model where intelligence and autonomy are deliberately designed into every decision. If your AI initiatives are stalling before they deliver real value, Jeff’s MAINSTREAM Lecture explains why, and what to do about it.
