WEBINAR: $2.5B in 72 Hours: What Agentic AI Looks Like When It Actually Works

95% of enterprise agentic AI pilots never deliver ROI (MIT, 2025). The gap isn’t ambition — it’s the jump from a model that works in a sandbox to an agent trusted to act on the plant floor, inside the systems your team already runs on.

This session, with host Scott Luton and featured guests Vika Smilansky and Marc Amarillas with DataRobot, breaks down what that jump actually takes, and what it looks like solved, with agents orchestrated across the value chain, not in isolated silos:

– Supply chain: multi-tier supplier risk and tariff exposure caught before a single-source failure becomes a line-down event

– Plant operations: bottlenecks and downtime caught before they hit the shift report

– Aftermarket: warranty leakage and reactive dispatch turned back into retained margin

We’ll ground our conversation in real use cases, including a tariff signal that put $2.5B in revenue at risk, resolved in 72 hours instead of weeks, with a human signing off at every step.

Not a pilot. Not a dashboard. A production-grade agent workforce — connecting planning, operations, and service to move manufacturers from reactive to proactive.

Webinar Key Takeaways:

  • Understand why 95% of agentic AI pilots fail — and the specific infrastructure, governance, and integration requirements that separate production-grade agents from stalled experiments.
  • See what an agent workforce looks like across the manufacturing value chain — from supply chain and plant operations to aftermarket services, with concrete examples of what agents actually do at each stage.
  • Learn how to move from reactive to proactive across planning, procurement, and operations — with agents that catch multi-tier supplier risk, tariff exposure, and equipment issues before they become line-down events.
  • Walk through a real production scenario — how a manufacturing agent workforce, integrated with SAP and powered by NVIDIA, turned a $2.5B supply chain crisis into a 72-hour recovery, with human sign-off at every step.
  • Take away a framework for evaluating agentic AI in your own operation — including the governance and integration questions to ask before your next pilot becomes another statistic.

The Supply Chain of 2022 and Beyond: Building Resiliency and Agility

Recent disruptions have confirmed that modern supply chains must be built on a more resilient foundation. Not just to help manage risk, but to be better positioned to deal with and even gain advantage from disruptions. Along these lines, the notion of agility is also gaining ground in order to quickly adjust supply chain tactics. The question is: can our supply chains be both at the same time? Join this in-depth discussion as we explore the importance of building robust and responsive supply chains to act as a competitive advantage in 2022 and beyond. In this session, you will learn about: – How organizations need to think beyond the current paradigms of supply chain planning and decisioning – Balancing the need for cost optimization with agility and resiliency – The role of continuous supply chain design as a means to be both agile and resilient – Technology implications to support a continuous design approach Featured Panelists: Lora Cecere, Founder, Supply Chain Insights Madhav Durbha, VP of Supply Chain Strategy, Coupa Scott W Luton, Founder, CEO & Host of Supply Chain Now
