AI in Action: Practical Insights From the Factory Floor
November 4, 2026Many manufacturers are under pressure to do more with less while navigating labor shortages, supply chain volatility, quality demands, and increasing customer expectations. Amid the buzz of artificial intelligence (AI), it can be difficult to determine where AI offers meaningful business value.
Join Forvis Mazars for a 60-minute session as we explore how manufacturers are successfully applying AI today across operations, quality processes, supply chain functions, customer engagement, and decision making. We’ll discuss the current manufacturing landscape and key industry trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping AI adoption. In addition, our professionals will demonstrate real-world use cases within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Copilot, and Cowork, to illustrate how organizations are improving productivity, reducing manual effort, strengthening quality processes, and gaining practical insights from their data.
Whether you’re just beginning to evaluate AI or looking to expand existing initiatives, this session will help you better understand where AI can offer measurable value and how to build a roadmap for success in manufacturing.
