Join us for a dynamic AnalytiXIN Community of Practice session focused on how AI is transforming energy forecasting in manufacturing—and how Indiana’s universities and tech integrators are helping lead the way.
This session will spotlight cutting-edge research from Indiana University, led by Dr. Raj Acharya, Dr. Vikram Jadhao, and CR Fiddyment, who are exploring how AI and advanced analytics can help manufacturers better anticipate and optimize their energy use. You’ll also hear from Trent Decatur at LHP IoT, a trusted industry partner that collaborates directly with university researchers to turn AI research into real-world manufacturing applications.
Together, this group will explore:
- How AI can be used to forecast energy needs and drive efficiencies
- What IU researchers are working on—and how it connects to industry needs
- How integrators like LHP help manufacturers translate academic research and resources into action
- The role manufacturers can play in shaping this work and accessing university resources
Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to go deeper, this session is designed to help manufacturers understand the practical resources available—and why getting started with digital adoption now matters.
