From Operational Insight to Agentic Industrial AI - with Vaibhav Kumar of IFS
Thursday, 29 October, 2026

Retiring workers can take operational knowledge with them, while difficult-to-use enterprise systems leave other information underused. In this episode, Vaibhav Kumar, Global Chief Technology Officer at IFS, joins Emerj's Eysan Yazici to examine how conversational AI could help industrial teams capture knowledge and access business information more directly. He discusses reducing friction in enterprise software, letting users determine when agents require human involvement, and building AI literacy around systems containing meaningful business data. This episode is sponsored by IFS. Learn how leading organizations approach AI investment more like a venture portfolio, and why interdisciplinary collaboration is critical to defining the right data for AI success.
