Main Conference Day 1 - October 8, 2025

11:20 AM Panel Discussion: Using AI to Reduce Energy Usage and Emissions Output through Effective Continuous Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Generative AI (Gen AI) and multimodal AI have the potential to significantly reduce emissions and drive the efficiency of operational maintenance. This session will explore how to leverage AI to gain precise insights from continuous monitoring and drive quality inspections. 

  • How combining multimodal AI with Gen AI can deliver real-time insights from continuous monitoring 
  • Using heat maps to spot unnecessary energy usage and speed up necessary maintenance  
  • Using insights from continuous monitoring to automate inspections, reduce downtime and ultimately reduce emissions outputs
