When you talk with energy executives today, there’s no longer a debate about whether artificial intelligence belongs in operations. The question has shifted to how to make it work.Natalia Klafke, Executive Vice President of Energy & Sustainability at Radix, has spent over a decade helping energy companies modernize complex operations. At Impact 2025, she noted a clear […]

Industrial operations depend on data historians to record what’s happening on the line or in the field. But as systems evolve toward Industry 4.0, many teams find that their historians weren’t built for what’s next — the volume, velocity, and variety of time series data now generated by sensors, PLCs, and edge devices.Replacing these systems […]

Answering the audience’s questionsManufacturing is not a greenfield playground for shiny new technology. It’s a world of legacy machines, siloed data, and decades-old dashboards that keep production running. Into this reality comes agentic AI—a powerful but new tool promising faster decisions, smarter insights, and measurable improvements.But for manufacturers, the big question isn’t what agentic AI can do in […]

Artificial intelligence and digital connectivity are transforming how machine tools operate — from the way parts are designed and programmed to how data flows across production. The combination of AI-driven automation and a digital thread enables faster programming, more accurate simulations, safer workflows, and consistent quality on the shop floor. These developments were explained by […]

During AI Frontiers 2025, participants raised important questions about the growing role of agentic AI in manufacturing—covering topics such as regulation, interoperability, and the management of autonomous systems. While we did not have enough time to address all the questions during the live session, Peter Sorowka, CEO of Cybus, offers in this article a practical direction for […]

Last year marked the hottest ever recorded on Earth. In the United States alone, 27 separate billion-dollar disasters disrupted communities—wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and heatwaves that overwhelmed emergency systems and municipal budgets. Globally, disaster experts now estimate that if current trends continue, the planet could face up to 560 major disasters each year by 2030, compounding the $4.3 […]

At Cognite’s 2025 event, Laxmi Akkaraju, SVP Global Services and Solutions, Cognite, spotlighted a new paradigm in industrial AI: agents embedded directly into data workflows, not merely layered on top as analytics. For manufacturers, this shift promises to unlock decisions and use cases that were previously difficult to operationalize reliably — and to do so with […]

The race in CNC machining is no longer about who has the fastest spindle—it’s about who can validate reality before cutting metal. Across global manufacturing, digital twin technology is emerging as a quiet disruptor, letting engineers simulate machines, verify programs, and train workers in a zero-risk environment.As Siemens’ Dave Morley explained during CXO Insights, digital twins are […]

Factories today don’t struggle to collect data — they struggle to make sense of it. Machines measure everything from pressure to vibration, but most of it lacks meaning. Without context, even the most advanced dashboards can’t explain what’s happening on the floor.That’s starting to change.A new generation of AI agents at the edge is learning to understand […]

Every machine in a factory is a storyteller. Motors hum, valves pulse, and robotic arms flex—each leaving a digital footprint in the form of vibration signatures, torque readings, and temperature curves. Production systems add more layers: batch IDs, recipe adjustments, and operator inputs. Together, this flood of time-series data could tell manufacturers not only what […]

For years, AI in energy meant better dashboards, faster analytics, and smarter reports. Useful — but limited. Now, something more important is happening: AI is moving from describing what happened to deciding what to do next.This shift is already reshaping how operators, engineers, and managers run critical energy systems. It’s not hype — it’s a practical […]
