👷 The Challenge on the Plant Floor
“Pre-COVID we had 16 people covering 4 shifts. Now we have 5 — in a 300,000 sq. ft. facility.”
“Being thrown into a busy plant and told to ‘learn it’ has been a hell of an intro.”
“My workload is insane.”
These aren’t headlines — they’re the daily reality for maintenance teams across industries.
According to Deloitte, 1.9 million manufacturing jobs could remain unfilled by 2033, and nearly 40% of the maintenance workforce could retire in the next five years.
The result is a tight labour market where everyone must rethink how they leverage expertise and optimize workflows for efficient labour utilization and learnings.
🤝 What This Session Covers
Join us for a fireside chat on how existing technology and AI, teamwork, and leadership can help maintenance and operations teams do more with less — without burning out their people.
You’ll hear practical insights on how to:
✅ Prevent brain drain and capture knowledge before it’s lost to retirement.
✅ Use AI and remote monitoring to lighten workloads and firefighting.
✅ Enable smaller teams to achieve more across large facilities.
✅ Build a culture where AI supports technicians, instead of replacing them.
✅ Rebuild trust and confidence in technology on the plant floor.
