AI Hour: PANEL AI Readiness Starts with Data - Mining, Metals & Minerals Beyond the Hype

AI offers enormous potential for mining, metals and minerals. From predictive maintenance to autonomous operations, success starts with data. Many companies still operate in silos, limiting visibility and scalability. This session examines what it takes to become AI-ready today.  We’ll discuss why a unified, contextualized data layer is critical for advanced analytics and machine learning and show what’s possible once that foundation is in place. You’ll hear from AVEVA customers and what they are doing today to be AI ready. The journey to AI readiness begins now, and it’s the key to unlocking future competitiveness.  Panelists from: Metlen/Aluminum of Greece, CIMAT/Ciments de l'Atlas, AVEVA
