As manufacturing enters a new era of intelligence, the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) data is becoming the foundation for autonomous operations and Physical AI. In this session, Ritika Jain, Senior Director of Operations IT at AstraZeneca, shares how unified data architectures, semantic models, digital twins, and AI are enabling the transition from connected factories to intelligent, self-optimizing systems. Drawing on real-world experience delivering advanced manufacturing platforms and emerging Physical AI capabilities, she will explore why OT-IT data convergence is increasingly critical for technically advanced manufacturing. Attendees will gain practical insights into building context-rich data ecosystems that support predictive operations, adaptive processes, and the next generation of intelligent systems. The session will provide a roadmap for organizations looking to move beyond isolated AI initiatives and lay the digital foundations for the factories of the future.
