The Industrialization of Intelligence with Nina Schick

AI isn’t just another tech wave — it’s industrial infrastructure, redefining how products are designed, tested and built. Smart systems are transforming industrial manufacturing with unprecedented efficiency, precision and innovation.  

In this sector, technology integrates with machines and production lines to optimize operations, reduce downtime and predict maintenance. AI-driven systems can analyze vast amounts of data from sensors and production outputs to improve decision-making and automate complex processes. This not only enhances quality and operational safety but also significantly cuts costs by reducing waste and energy consumption from product creation to market. 

The future of making things belongs to those who master AI 

Welcome to the first installment of our four-part webinar series showcasing ULTRUS™ Software and Innovation in 2025. Join UL Solutions for this exclusive opportunity to explore the latest AI capabilities in industrial manufacturing with globally recognized experts in the field.
