IIOT World - AI Frontiers 2025 - Keynote: Building Data Accuracy and AI Trust in Smart Manufacturing

Build AI trust in smart manufacturing: Adlib Transform turns 300+ unstructured formats (CAD, SOPs, logs) into validated, AI-ready data for PLM/MES/ERP.

80% of your manufacturing data is unusable by AI, stalling your smart factory initiatives. From CAD drawings and inspection logs to SOPs and compliance documents, critical data lives inside unstructured formats that AI can’t reliably access or trust. Without structured, validated inputs, even your best digital twin or predictive maintenance model is built on shaky ground.In this session, Adlib Software CEO Chris Huff and CPO Anthony Vigliotti reveal how global manufacturers are eliminating this “last mile” bottleneck through AI-ready document workflows. You’ll learn how Adlib’s Transform platform extracts, validates, and delivers clean, contextual data from over 300 file types, including legacy formats and complex technical documents, ensuring high-trust inputs across PLM, MES, ERP, and LLM systems.

Key Topics:

‍• The Trust Gap: Why most AI initiatives fail without structured, validated data
• Digital Twins: Improve model accuracy by up to 40% with pixel-perfect CAD-to-PDF transformations
• ESG & Compliance Reporting: Cut audit prep time by 60% through automated validation and document standardization
• SOP Distribution: Accelerate shop floor readiness with automated generation, validation, and delivery
• AI Trustworthiness: Reduce hallucinations and improve explainability using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) on verified source documents
• Unlike generic IDP or PLM platforms, Adlib’s Transform platform handles 300+ legacy formats and complex docs with 50% higher accuracy, ensuring compliance without vendor lock-in

Adlib

Anthony Vigliotti is Chief Product Officer at Adlib Software with 20+ years in business workflow and intelligent document processing. He started in manufacturing at Xerox, designing components for toner-cartridge remanufacture and earning a patent in the process. Seeing how outdated document processes slowed operations, he pushed for new automation approaches—momentum that led Xerox to sponsor his return to university for a master’s in Information Technology. Since then, Anthony has led product management, alliance/partner strategy, and product development across Xerox, Notable Solutions (NSi), Nuance, and Kofax. His work centers on turning unstructured content into reliable, compliant, AI-ready data that accelerates real-world outcomes in regulated industries. Anthony holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.S. in Information Technology, both from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Adlib: The Foundation for DocumentAccuracy in Chemical Refining

When we made the decision to change rendering solutions, we looked towards3 separate vendors. Overall, Adlib seemed more mature as a software option.

Challenge
Legacy conversion tools couldnʼt handle the volume and complexity of engineering files, forcing constant IT intervention and delaying CAD conversions into shareable formats. Flat TIFF outputs were unsearchable and lost layer previews—slowing collaboration, creating inefficiencies, and weakening archival practices.

Solution
Safeguarded engineering Adlib improved efficiency, cut administrative overhead, and safeguarded engineering drawings to reduce legal risk. Engineers and contractors gained faster access and smoother collaboration, while IT reduced workload, support needs, and infrastructure costs with a smaller server footprint.

Insurance Giant Automates Heavy Admin Work in Claims, Saving Millions

Insurance giant automates heavy admin work in claims, saving millions

Challenge

As full-time employees (FTEs) struggled to manually process 90k claim-related documents each day to meet the company SLAs, the claims department overhead was getting out of hand. In addition, customer frustration and increased churn was a direct result of response times being many days from the customer’s claim submission.

Solution

Adlib optimized the claims-processing workflow by automating the ingestion, digitization, intelligent assembly, and publishing of compliant claims in PDF format. This transformation significantly minimized the manual effort required from FTEs, allowing them to concentrate on claim approvals and improving customer relationships. As a direct outcome, the company saw a remarkable 90% reduction in administrative work tied to pre-processing claim documentation. This in turn slashed their operational budget by $6 million. What’s more, overall customer service satisfaction improved as the efficiency boost dramatically accelerated customer response times from days to hours.

Modernizing Claims Processing & Document Management Workflow

“We very quickly realized that Adlib was the right tool for us — it was the only PDF rendition product out of the seven or eight we looked at that met our requirements for 100% fidelity and integration.” — Director of Architecture & IS Risk

Challenge

The insurance company needed to incorporate an automated PDF rendering capability with high-fidelity output into its workflow that would integrate with its Guidewire ClaimCenter® claims processing system and IBM® FileNet® repository.

Solution

To modernize the application systems supporting its P&C operations, the insurance company embarked on a major, multi-year initiative—its Enterprise Systems Renewal Strategy—that has already seen the introduction of a new Broker Transaction Portal and a new Claims Processing system. Ultimately, the program will also see the company completely revamp its existing Policy Administration system and the ERP system used for managing financial processes.

Pharma manufacturer minimizes compliance risk in batch delivery

“Every file type is rendered through Adlib as all materials are required to be stored as PDFs. The files we are processing can be a mixture of different things such as product specifications, ingredients, formulas, raw materials used in products, or specifics of packaging. Adlib is integrated with Enovia, our active quality management tool. We rely heavily on that tool,” – Sr. Manager Platform

Challenge

This pharma manufacturer faced significant challenges in managing the diverse types of files involved in their batch delivery workflows. The necessity to render every file type into PDFs for consistent storage was complicated by the variety of materials they handled, including product specifications, ingredients, formulas, raw materials, and packaging details. This complexity made it difficult to maintain a standardized and efficient document management process, leading to process inefficiencies, documentation inconsistencies and, ultimately, a compliance risk.

Solution

Tthe company implemented Haistaq into their batch delivery, quality assurance and manufacturing workflows. Adlib's robust rendering capabilities allowed for the automatic conversion of all file types into standardized PDFs, regardless of their origin. This streamlined the document management process, ensuring that all materials, from product specifications to packaging specifics, were consistently and efficiently stored as PDFs. As a result, the company achieved greater efficiency in their workflows, improved the consistency and accessibility of their documentation, and reduced the complexity and manual effort previously required to manage diverse file types. This implementation also enhanced compliance and operational efficiency, supporting their commitment to quality and regulatory standards.
