About the Event:
Artificial intelligence is moving out of pilot projects and into production environments across the manufacturing enterprise. Whether it holds at scale depends on the infrastructure underneath it: shared terminology, data that transfers between systems, methods for measuring model performance, and criteria for validating AI behavior when safety and quality are at stake. Those are standards questions, and most of them are still open.
The second AI in Manufacturing Systems Workshop examines where AI is being deployed on the factory floor today and which consensus standards must exist for that deployment to be reliable, interoperable, and trusted. The program is vendor-neutral. Sessions address data interoperability and reference architectures, performance metrics and benchmarking, data quality and model standards, safety and cybersecurity, system integration, human-AI teaming, AI-driven quality and predictive maintenance, and governance and trustworthiness, with a sector spotlight that examines one production environment in depth.
The workshop follows the inaugural edition, held June 3, 2026 in Dallas immediately before the founding meeting of Committee F50. In the months since, F50 has organized into an executive subcommittee and four working subcommittees — Terminology, Data, Critical Requirements, and Planning — and has set its first standards priorities. This edition reports on that work, tests it against current industry practice, and opens it to the wider community for input.
A full agenda with confirmed speakers and session titles will be published by the end of August. For more information such as hotel reservations and agenda, visit here.
