MAPconnected is proud to announce that Michael Cavaretta will be joining the AI In The Field panel during the VIP Dinner on October 20 at this year’s Vehicle Service & Warranty Lifecycle Summit, taking place October 20–22, 2025, at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel.
As AI rapidly moves from theory to real-world implementation, leaders across the automotive and manufacturing ecosystem are being challenged to bridge the gap between innovation and impact. Dr. Cavaretta brings a wealth of experience in predictive analytics, applied data science, and decision intelligence, helping global organizations turn data into actionable strategy.
Throughout his career, Dr. Cavaretta has been at the forefront of using analytics to improve decision-making processes — not just in operational contexts, but also in shaping how companies anticipate trends, reduce risk, and optimize performance. His work highlights the transformative power of AI when it’s applied at scale to solve practical challenges in manufacturing, service, and warranty operations.
In his recent article, “Predictive Analysis: A Powerful Tool for Better Decision,” published in The Manufacturing Outlook, Dr. Cavaretta explores how predictive analytics empowers leaders to move from reactive to proactive management. The piece underscores how structured data, machine learning, and strategic foresight can create a more resilient and responsive business ecosystem.
The AI In The Field panel will take place during the exclusive VIP Dinner, where thought leaders, OEMs, suppliers, and warranty executives will gather to discuss how AI is being applied in real-world service environments. From intelligent diagnostics and remote monitoring to advanced claims processing and data integration, the conversation will explore how organizations are evolving to keep pace with digital transformation — and how predictive insights are shaping that journey.
This session will set the tone for the Summit’s broader dialogue on AI readiness, data strategy, and the evolving role of technology in service and warranty excellence.
