AI for Reliable and Resource-Efficient Industry

July 31, 2025

AI in the digital driver’s seat

Artificial Intelligence has the potential to increase reliability, efficiency and sustainability. But before you can leverage this potential, you first need to know how to integrate AI into your business processes.

But don’t sweat it, SME4DD can help!

On 23 September, we’re hosting a webinar on AI for Reliable and Resource-Efficient Industry. During the event, Enrico Zio, a professor at Mines-Paris PSL and Politecnico di Milano, will provide real-world examples of how you can use AI to:

  • Analyse plant data and maintenance logs to uncover hidden patterns and enable predictive action
  • Combine enterprise data with external information to forecast failures and process drifts
  • Automate decision-making and optimise resource management

You’ll also gain insights and practical tools you can use to drive your industry’s digital transformation – even with limited budgets.

Part of our Digital Essentials for SMEs series, this webinar is hosted by Assintel.
