We’re standing at the dawn of the fifth industrial leap, a profound transformation from automation to agency. In this new era, manufacturing is no longer about programmed machines but about intelligent agents that sense, decide, and adapt in real time. This is the future of resilience, precision, and human-AI collaboration. In The Agentic Shift: Building Intelligence Into the Fabric of Industry, explore how agentic AI is redefining high-stakes manufacturing where milliseconds matter, precision is non-negotiable, and human-AI collaboration is the new normal. With real-world examples from Joby Tesla and Relativity, this field guide breaks down how agentic factories solve for speed, resilience, and zero-defect quality while empowering the workforce, not replacing it.

What You’ll Learn:
• What defines the fifth industrial leap and why it matters now
• Why agentic systems outperform automation in volatile, high-stakes sectors
• How real-time decision loops drive speed, precision, and uptime
• How AI agents turn tribal knowledge into scalable, teachable systems
• What it takes to lead an agentic transformation technically and culturally
