Post Industrial Summit 2026

Autonomous Operations in Production

 

Michael Dolbec, Managing Partner at Momenta Ventures, will join industrial operators and technologists at the Post-Industrial Summit 2026 in Menlo Park.

 

The discussion focuses on autonomous operations in real production environments, including how agentic AI, control systems, and human decision loops are deployed across physical infrastructure and edge environments.

 

As AI moves beyond pilots, the challenge is no longer intelligence alone, but reliability, safety, and governance at scale. The summit will examine where autonomy is delivering measurable gains today and where system and regulatory limits still constrain deployment.

 

Michael will share perspectives from Momenta’s work with companies building edge intelligence, industrial AI, robotics, and resilient infrastructure that must perform under real world conditions.
