Shopfloor AI: from demo to your own application

Shopfloor AI: what is possible today?

AI is changing the way manufacturing companies operate. Not in theory — on the shop floor, right now. In this workshop, you don’t just see what the tools can do. You use them yourself.

In the morning, you work hands-on in small groups with AI applications for video analysis, work instructions and process optimisation. You record your own work process. In the afternoon, you use those recordings to generate work instructions automatically with AI. You also build a simple application and work directly with language models.

The day after the workshop, you can get started on your own. Companies that experiment today build a lead for tomorrow.
 

For Whom?

This workshop is designed for anyone who wants to use AI on the shop floor:

• Engineers and process managers

• Production managers and team leaders

• IT professionals working in a manufacturing environment
   

Key Takeaways

During this day, you discover how AI solves concrete problems on the shop floor. You work with tools that are already being used for quality control, work instructions, process analysis and production optimisation.

What you take away:

• How to convert existing work documents into digital work instructions using AI
• How video recordings are used for quality control and process analysis
• How AI translates error codes and breakdowns into actionable guidance for operators
• How to query shop floor data using natural language, without technical expertise
• How to build a simple application using a language model

Programme

A varied day combining presentations, live demonstrations and hands-on sessions in small groups.

• We provide laptops for the Vibe coding session.
• After the workshop, in addition to the presentations, you will receive a practical reference guide: an overview of digital tools that are already being used on the shop floor today.

Flemish companies can take advantage of a subsidy from VLAIO for this course

This programme is part of Industriepartnershap in which 13 Flemish innovation partners offer an integrated service to stimulate growth and innovation in the Flemish industry in the 6 following themes: AI, Cybersecurity, Circularity, Digitisation, Climate & Energy and Industry 4.0. They do so under the leadership of Agoria and Sirris and with the support of Agentschap Innoveren & Ondernemen.
