This dynamic Tech Talks session brought together leaders from BASF, Chevron, and C3AI to discuss how digital twins, edge computing, and AI technologies are converging to enable fully autonomous industrial operations. Moderated by Udayan Vyas, Connected Worker and AI Lead at Chevron, the conversation focused on how organisations are applying cutting-edge tools to drive operational efficiency, safety, and performance in real time.
Speakers explored key use cases—from deploying agentic AI to support context-aware decision-making, to adopting predictive and prescriptive maintenance strategies that eliminate human intervention. They also addressed how edge computing is overcoming latency barriers in remote environments, enabling faster and smarter actions at the source.
With real-world examples and deep technical insights, the panel demonstrated how autonomous drilling and intelligent digital twins are moving from concept to deployment—redefining how industrial systems operate, learn, and adapt.
