I recently watched Jeff Winters keynote from the 2026 PROVE IT conference

The Intelligent Factory: Why Manufacturing Needs a New Operating Model

It extremely well sums up 2 things:

1. a super compressed overview on AI history and how AI works
2. what are the possibilities if used in manufacturing – with the right approach

Below is the link to the complete keynote on YouTube (~57 minutes) as well as the slide deck Jeff showed.

There is plenty of more excellent Industry 4.0 content on Jeff’s homepage:

Thank you Jeff for this outstanding keynote talk.
