The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) will hold a one-day event covering the latest developments in artificial intelligence for automation. The AI & Smart Automation Conference, to be held Sept. 29 in Columbus, Ohio, will feature experts from Siemens, Procter & Gamble, NVIDIA, RAPID Robotics, and Landing AI, among others. “Every day, we are pounded with messages about how AI will solve all your production problems,” said Robert Huschka, A3’s vice president of education strategies. “But how do you begin? And what is really possible? This packed one-day conference will allow you to explore the menu of possibilities for AI in your operations and how you can put them to work.” The agenda features panel discussions and individual sessions on data strategy, advances in AI robotics and machine vision, and AI-powered optimization and predictions. The conference is co-located with the International Safety Robotics Conference, which will take place Sept. 27-29 at the Hyatt Regency Columbus.
