Full description and objectives

This session will bring together key stakeholders to share and discuss cross-sector success stories and lessons learned in scaling from pilots to robotics+AI solutions as the standard tool of choice for inspection and maintenance (I&M) and monitoring (e.g., for surveillance). A key value of robotics and AI today is turning robot-collected data into actionable insights, but approaches to deployment and scaling remain fragmented.

The objective of the session is to converge approaches and identify key opportunities and challenges through three main questions:

1. What are the high-value use cases for maintenance with AI and robotics at scale? Demonstrated field deployments for I&M and monitoring; business models and ROI for large-scale adoption; Greenfield vs. brownfield deployments; Current, near-term and long term value creation.

2. How are robots+AI enabling data collection at scale? AI-enabled robot systems, data pipelines, fleet management; etc.

3. How is robot-enabled data analyzed, integrated and used to provide value at scale? AI-based analysis; integration with asset management and work processes; maintenance/repair; management of change.

The key outcomes are (i) Current and future high-value use cases across Apply AI sectors (energy, robotics, security, transport), and (ii) Top three factors leading to successful adoption.

Real world use and value creation sessions: Our session directly addresses the ADRForum theme of real-world use and value creation by focusing on mature AI and robotics solutions already being deployed with end-users in European inspection, maintenance and monitoring contexts. It highlights how the convergence of robot-enabled data collection, AI-based analysis, and integration into operational decision-making can create measurable value in strategic sectors from the Apply AI strategy: energy, transport, security/surveillance and robotics.

The session also relates to the themes of value creation, deployment and scaling by examining how pilot deployments can move towards routine operational use. Through concrete end-user and supplier experiences, it will identify high-value use cases, scaling barriers, best practices, and the conditions needed for ADR technologies to become reliable tools in day-to-day maintenance and surveillance operations. By involving European end-users, service/technology providers and sector organisations, the session supports ADRF’s objectives of strengthening European competitiveness, resilience, technological sovereignty and cross-sector adoption of AI, data and robotics.
