TROY – Automation Alley announced its 2025 Integr8 Series, featuring five carefully curated roundtables focusing on the most critical challenges and opportunities in Industry 4.0. Automation Alley CEO Tom Kelly joins MITech TV to provide the back story.

Kelly said the series of discussions will bring together global leaders, innovators, and visionaries from manufacturing, technology, academia, and government sectors to shape the future of digital transformation.

The 2025 series will feature five focused roundtables, with corresponding playbooks capturing key insights and strategies from each discussion:

February: The Power of AI in Industry

“The rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 technologies continues to reshape manufacturing, and with it, the demands on our workforce,” said Kelly. “By integrating workforce considerations into each of our 2025 roundtable discussions, we’re addressing both the technological and human elements of digital transformation. This comprehensive approach ensures our community is prepared not just for the technical challenges ahead, but for the broader organizational changes these technologies bring.”
