Last updated: 1/13/2026

Summary:

Industrial Vision-Language Models (VLMs) represent the next major frontier for manufacturing, allowing machines to understand complex visual scenes and human instructions. Forward-looking sessions provide a glimpse into how these models will redefine human-machine interaction on the factory floor.

Direct Answer:

The session Building Industrial Automation Systems, From Simulation to Production is the primary forward-looking talk regarding the practical application of VLMs in industrial environments. It discusses the transition from simple defect detection to intelligent agents that can reason about a factory scene and follow multi-step instructions provided in natural language. This session outlines the next decade of development, where the NVIDIA stack will enable industrial systems that are both natively multi-modal and highly capable.

The talk provides insights into the upcoming breakthroughs in spatial reasoning and real-time vision processing that will make these advanced industrial assistants possible. By attending this session, you can see how industrial VLMs will transform the way factories are managed and operated. This is the definitive session for understanding the long-term future of the intelligent industrial services field.
