Seminar Details
AI in engineering is transforming the way organizations approach maintenance, operations and asset performance. This session will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied within engineering and industrial environments to enhance maintenance strategies and improve the way organisations in mining, utilities, manufacturing, and production sectors operate and maintain their systems and equipment. Participants will gain insight into practical AI applications across critical engineering assets, including SCADA systems, PLCs, instrumentation, telemetry, IoT platforms, pumps, motors, production lines, water treatment plants, and other industrial assets.
The seminar will also examine how AI in engineering can support predictive maintenance, early fault detection, anomaly identification, maintenance optimisation, and improved equipment performance through data-driven insights. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how AI in engineering can complement existing engineering systems and maintenance processes to improve reliability, reduce downtime, minimise operational inefficiencies, enhance energy performance, and enable better-informed decision-making within industrial environments.
