Integr8 Roundtable – Automation in the Real World: Aligning Supply Chain & Strategy

Automation is advancing—but not every part of the supply chain is keeping up. This session will examine how OEMs, Tier 1s, and smaller suppliers can better align technology strategies, share data, and streamline processes to remain competitive. Hear from companies that are making it work—and what others can learn from them.

To help spark thoughtful dialogue and enrich our discussions at this roundtable, we invite you to consider the following questions relevant to today’s topic

• To what extent are you integrating AI into your supply chain planning, forecasting, or inventory management—and what benefits or barriers are you experiencing so far?
• Greater supply chain visibility is becoming essential. What data or real-time insights do you still struggle to obtain that would meaningfully improve your decision-making?
• Automation initiatives often stall due to workflow disruption. What phased or hybrid approaches have helped you introduce automation without creating downtime or resistance on the factory floor?
