In this compelling thought leadership session, Kongsberg presented a bold vision for the future of industrial operations—one where artificial intelligence and digital twins are not just tools, but foundational to driving smarter, faster, and more resilient decision-making.
Kongsberg explored how heavy-asset industries like energy and chemicals must embrace structural change, leveraging AI to extract value from data and streamline operations in an increasingly complex, resource-constrained environment. Highlighting the Industrial Work Surface, they demonstrated how integrating real-time data, simulations, and AI copilots into one unified digital environment empowers cross-functional teams to move from reactive to predictive operations.
The session underscored a central message: digital transformation is no longer optional. By embedding intelligence into the fabric of operations, organisations can boost performance, improve safety, and accelerate value creation—while preparing their workforce for a future shaped by digital fluency and continuous evolution.
