Kongsberg Digital's webinar brings together industry experts to discuss the use of Agentic AI in industrial environments and how it will change the industry in the future.

Kongsberg Digital’s webinar, “Agentic AI at Work: Shaping the Future of Heavy Asset Management,” brought together industry experts to explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in heavy asset industries. The discussion highlighted a major shift from AI’s traditional role of problem detection toward “agentic AI,” where systems actively plan, recommend, and execute solutions.

Panelists emphasised that the adoption of agentic AI depends on building trust through robust security, explainability, and transparency. Without these, AI’s impact will remain confined to pilot projects rather than scaled operations. Kongsberg Digital showcased how its Industrial Work Surface integrates digital twins with intelligent agents, enabling seamless collaboration between human operators and AI systems to drive safer, more efficient, and more reliable performance.

The session also unpacked insights from Kongsberg Digital’s new book on agentic AI in industrial environments, covering the technology’s evolution, pathways for scaling adoption, and the dynamics of human–AI collaboration. With added perspectives from industry analysts, the webinar offered actionable strategies for moving from experimentation to enterprise-wide transformation, making it a valuable resource for professionals navigating the future of asset-heavy operations.
