Main stage insights with Rob Painter and Michael Kornhauser
The conference opened with a powerful keynote from Trimble CEO Rob Painter and Transportation & Logistics Sector VP Michael Kornhauser. They laid out a clear vision for the future of transportation, combining human operational experience with automated AI execution to navigate market volatility and save time.
“Navigating today’s volatile market requires clarity, resilience and the willingness to adapt,” said Painter. “Intelligent technology is only as powerful as the network supporting it, which is why we’re pairing autonomous AI with operational context so our customers have the tools to keep moving forward.”
Kornhauser reinforced Trimble's commitment to delivering modern capabilities without disrupting day-to-day work.
“Our mission is to bring innovation directly into customer workflows without forcing disruptive platform overhauls,” said Kornhauser. “Whether modernizing core systems like Trimble® TruckMate® software or delivering route-planning autonomy with Appian, it comes down to a simple value equation — turning human context and AI into value for our customers.”
