When Artificial Intelligence moves from theory to real industrial production


The AI & the Smart Factory Conference took place on Wednesday, March 18th, bringing together leading executives from industry, technology, and research on the same stage to answer a critical question: what does “Smart Factory” truly mean in the Greek reality.

Through practical examples and honest discussions, the conference highlighted that the digital transformation of industry is no longer a future scenario, but a process that begins with small, measurable steps on the shop floor.

The program focused on real use cases, lessons learned, and the technologies that are already transforming production: from AI adoption and IT/OT convergence to predictive maintenance, data-driven decision-making, and OEE improvement with measurable ROI.

With participation from leading organizations in Greek industry, the conference served as a meeting point and confirmed that the future of production is being built with less hype and more action, laying the foundations for the next day of Smart Factories in Greece.
