Transforming Data into Value with AI

Manufacturing AI holds incredible promise—but only if the data behind it is accurate, contextualized, and ready for analysis. In this IndustryWeek, Smart Industry, and Automation World webinar, Ryan McMartin, Director of Product Marketing at Parsec Automation, explains how scalable AI deployment begins with effective data preparation and how MES platforms like TrakSYS® form the essential backbone for digital transformation.

Drawing from two decades of experience, Ryan walks through the challenges of siloed data systems, the importance of context in manufacturing environments, and the practical ways MES connects real-time information with business intelligence and AI tools.

Key takeaways include:

• Why strong data governance and contextualization are critical for scalable AI success
• How MES acts as the system of record for unified manufacturing data
• Practical examples of AI-driven predictive maintenance and process optimization
• How to leverage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and structured data for better AI outcomes
• The real-world path from data to decision-making through MES

Whether you’re exploring AI or refining your digital transformation strategy, this session clarifies the essential role of MES in achieving trustworthy, scalable results.
