Production Line of the Future is an exclusive in-person executive event designed to show manufacturers how to successfully implement AI and digital transformation initiatives that deliver concrete ROI. Register on the right to learn more about our April 9th event in Charlotte, NC.
The event is for leaders in Operations, Engineering, and IT who are passionate about Industry 4.0, AI-driven automation, asset management, predictive maintenance and front-line workforce dynamics.

Our April 9, 2026 event features INX International. The 3 roll mills at INX’s Charlotte site represent the gold standard for performance in continuous manufacturing.
