Why Manufacturers Can’t Scale Digital Innovation Without Internal Data Governance The real blocker isn’t technology, it’s trust Manufacturers often agree that wider data sharing across plants, partners, and supply chains is necessary to stay competitive. The…
Before an energy company can use artificial intelligence to predict a pipeline fault or optimize a drilling schedule, it must solve a physical problem. The industry's most valuable data isn't in the cloud; it's in filing…
The industrial sector is at a crossroads. As we navigate 2026, the traditional “detection-first” mindset that has governed OT (Operational Technology) cybersecurity for decades is proving insufficient against the rise of autonomous, AI-driven threats. During an interview at S4x26…
The manufacturing industry has reached a critical inflection point. The era of "pilot purgatory" is over. Based on the insights from IIoT World Days 2025, the next phase of industrial transformation is defined by three core…
The manufacturing sector is currently navigating a massive transition from static dashboards to Agentic AI, systems that can perceive, reason, and act autonomously. However, as highlighted by industry leaders during the sessions and discussions at IIoT…
The industrial landscape of 2026 has evolved beyond "growth at all costs" to a focus on technological survival. As we navigate a sluggish business cycle, rising power costs, and a staggering labor gap of 425,000 workers, automation…
IIoT World analyzed the defining industrial AI trends shaping manufacturing in 2026, based on conference sessions, expert interviews, and deployment data from companies including Suzano, Danfoss, and C3 AI. Agentic AI in 2026 refers to systems…
In 2026, the traditional "air gap" is a logical challenge. The convergence of IT and OT, coupled with AI-driven threats, has rendered "security by obscurity" obsolete. To maintain operational resilience, industrial leaders are shifting their focus…
As manufacturers face volatile energy costs and aggressive decarbonization targets, the focus for 2026 is shifting from passive monitoring to active grid interaction. The following 10 platforms and technologies were highlighted by industry leaders during IIoT World…
The industrial sector is accelerating the adoption of practical, high-impact AI applications. Based on insights from IIoT World Days 2025, industry leaders focus on scaling these technologies across global operations. From Agentic AI that autonomously manages supply chains to Computer…
An upstream oil company in Asia built 140 AI applications across 11 offshore assets. Every application was critical to operations. None of them scaled beyond the site where it was built. Jason Schern, Field CTO at…
How Industrial AI Is Transforming Operations, Workforce, and Decision-Making at Scale Cognite’s Impact 2025 made one thing clear: the era of reactive operations is over. Across both days, the narrative centered on proactive intelligence, powered by…
