28 Oct 2026
Avenida & Amistad, Ground floor
Keynote


Artificial intelligence is actively reshaping how asset-intensive industries approach maintenance and field service. In this forward-looking SAP roadmap session, discover how AI and automation are transforming traditional asset management from a reactive chore into an autonomous, self-optimising engine.

We will explore how SAP is embedding cutting-edge AI capabilities directly into your everyday tools to solve concrete business challenges at scale. From predicting failures before they happen to automatically generating optimal field service schedules and work orders, see firsthand how SAP's vision will help your teams reduce downtime, optimise labour shortages, and extend the lifespan of critical machinery.

What participants will learn:
• How to look past standard technology narratives and measure how shifting toward autonomous asset management actively reduces operational risk, maximises workforce capacity, and drives enterprise value
• Strategies for utilising SAP’s embedded AI to predict machine failures before they occur, shifting operations from scheduled maintenance to precision interventions that protect your license-to-operate
• How next-generation automation tools dynamically generate optimal field service schedules and work orders, directly mitigating the impact of industry-wide labour shortages
• A clear view of SAP’s upcoming release milestones, giving leadership the architectural insights needed to align current IT investments with future autonomous capabilities
