The Cost of Bad Data: Why Time Series Integrity Matters More Than You Think | SPONSORED
Data plays a critical role in shaping operational decisions. From sensor streams in factories to API response times in cloud environments, organizations rely on time-stamped metrics to understand what’s happening and determine what to do next. But when that data
Mid-Year Review: Emerging Tech & Trends in Industrial Data
We’re halfway there. June marks the mid-point of an already eventful year for manufacturing and industrial technology. Governmental influence on tariffs and sustainability benchmarking has reset the way many manufacturing companies are forecasting the ensuing quarters. And, of course, rapid advances in
Subscription MES: A New Path to Digital Transformation | SPONSORED
What if deploying MES didn’t require a massive budget, a year-long integration plan, or buy-in from every corner of the enterprise? A growing number of manufacturers are shifting away from all-in-one MES rollouts and embracing a more agile approach—building their
Still Using Excel on the Shop Floor? Why That’s Costing You More Than You Think | SPONSORED
Despite years of digital transformation buzz, many manufacturers still rely on spreadsheets, paper-based records, and siloed systems to run critical operations. As Augusto Vilarinho, Head of Global Sales at Critical Manufacturing, bluntly put it during the recent MES & Industry
From Historical Data to Real-Time Action: Unlocking Industrial Intelligence | SPONSORED
Learn how integrating a time series database with your historian helps industrial teams detect issues faster, act in real-time, and build predictive strategies that reduce downtime. Modern industrial systems continuously generate time-stamped data from sensors, PLCs, SCADA systems, and other connected
From Execution to Intelligence: Generative AI’s Role in the Future of MES | SPONSORED
At the second edition of the MES & Industry 4.0 International Summit in Porto, Portugal, Lucian Fogoros, Co-founder of IIoT World, spoke with Francisco Almada Lobo, CEO and Co-founder of Critical Manufacturing, about how generative AI is evolving the role of Manufacturing Execution Systems
The Connected Factory Playbook: Actionable Insights for C-Level Manufacturing Leaders
Modern manufacturers face a paradox: despite generating more data than ever, as much as 80–95% of valuable operational data remains unused. The result? Missed opportunities, fragmented visibility, and stalled digital transformation efforts. Our new executive booklet, based on the expert panel “The Connected
The Factory Floor Can’t Adapt Without This | SPONSORED
Manufacturers are under relentless pressure to adapt—fast. But while the demand for agility is everywhere, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Most factory floors still rely on outdated systems, fragmented data, and manual workarounds that leave them
Unleashing the Future: How AI and Edge Computing Are Reshaping the Energy Sector
The energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation—driven not just by policy shifts or sustainability targets, but by the increasing convergence of digital technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing. And while much of the noise still surrounds pilot
The Edge Is Already Thinking. Most of the Industry Just Isn’t Ready for That
I’ve spent my career building systems that don’t get second chances. Environments where power flickers, heat warps, and networks fail, places where a device either works or it becomes a liability. So when I hear talk about edge computing as some
What Generative AI Is Really Changing on the Factory Floor | SPONSORED
Forget the hype. Generative AI isn’t replacing workers or designing entire factories — yet. But it is changing what happens on the factory floor, where complexity, variability, and labor shortages meet real-time decisions. From reducing assembly errors to preserving expertise
Why Edge-to-Cloud Data Symmetry Is the Foundation of Scalable Smart Manufacturing | SPONSORED
As manufacturers accelerate their digital transformation journeys, the limitations of fragmented data environments are becoming more visible—and more costly. The promise of smart manufacturing hinges on one capability: enabling data to move seamlessly from the factory floor to the cloud
