AI, prescriptive maintenance, and edge analytics are reshaping how process plants run. Yet the gap between a successful pilot and full-scale impact rarely closes on technology alone. The differentiators are culture, operating model, and data foundations.Build versus partner: keep the core, rent the niche Keep in-house: architecture, data governance, cybersecurity, product ownership, and integration with […]

Industrial AI learns from history — but in most plants, that history is a mess.Behind every AI pilot, there’s a decade of process data, maintenance logs, and scanned reports that were never designed to work together. (Explore what document-first RAG means from Adlib.) These systems contain the experience of the plant — what failed, what […]

For the past few years, manufacturers have heard the same message on repeat: AI is ready for industry. But a quieter question is now being asked inside control rooms and boardrooms alike — is industry ready for AI?At this year’s Honeywell User Group in The Hague, that question came into focus. Beneath the enthusiasm around artificial intelligence […]

At Infinite Uptime’s CXO Circle in Bangkok, the discussion around industrial AI felt different. The room was filled with people who run plants. They weren’t asking whether AI belongs in manufacturing anymore. They were asking how to make it work reliably, across complex environments where every process, every asset, and every operator matters.The consensus was […]

Industrial decarbonization in refineries, chemical plants, and cement kilns stalls primarily because of one missing measurement: product-level carbon intensity. Without a consistent, auditable way to calculate CO2-equivalent per unit of output, even advanced facilities cannot verify how sustainable their products are, according to insights shared by Lewis Sweet, Senior Director at Honeywell International.This missing measurement […]

Predictive monitoring catches failure modes that standard operating procedures and interlocks cannot: specifically, manual misconfigurations such as a valve left closed after maintenance. On a critical gear pump, IoT sensors detected rising bearing temperature and abnormal vibration within hours of startup, alerting the maintenance team before any mechanical damage occurred.The Gear Pump IncidentA manual valve […]

The manufacturing sector faces a persistent tension: should organizations build all digital capabilities in-house or leverage external partners? The answer, increasingly, is neither—it’s both, strategically combined.The Cost of Doing Everything YourselfMany industrial leaders assume that maintaining complete control over digital transformation requires building every capability internally. This approach creates hidden costs that compound over time. […]
