Industrial enterprises sit on decades of unstructured knowledge locked in engineering drawings, work orders, and maintenance logs. Join this session to see how leading manufacturers, energy producers, and transportation operators are using multi-agent supervisor architectures on Databricks to extract, validate, and reason over complex technical documents - cutting review cycles, improving compliance, and turning institutional knowledge into a competitive edge.

Join this session to hear from two incredible companies, Xylem and Joby Aviation. Xylem shares their successful journey from fragmented legacy systems to a unified Enterprise Data Platform, demonstrating how they integrated complex ERP data across four business segments to achieve breakthrough improvements in parts management and operational efficiency. Following Xylem's story, learn how Joby Aviation leveraged Databricks to automate and accelerate flight test data checks, cutting processing times from over two hours to under thirty minutes. This session highlights how advanced cloud tools empower engineers to quickly build and run custom data checks, improving both speed and safety in flight test operations.

Join industry pioneers Boeing and CARIAD (Volkswagen Group) as they showcase how advanced data platforms are revolutionizing mobility across air and ground transportation. Boeing's Jeppesen Smart NOTAMs system demonstrates the power of compound AI in aviation safety, processing over 4.5M critical flight notices annually and serving 75% of commercial aviation through an innovative combination of MLflow, GenAI, and Delta Sharing technologies. CARIAD follows with insights into their groundbreaking Unified Data Ecosystem (UDE), the singular data platform powering Volkswagen Group's global mobility transformation across all brands and markets. Together, these leaders illustrate how smart data architecture is building the foundation for the future of transportation, from the skies to the streets.
