Every industrial company is under pressure to “go digital.” But not every investment creates value—and in manufacturing, complexity can spread faster than clarity.According to Amit Khanna, Vice President of Business Excellence at Tata Steel Thailand, the real challenge isn’t adopting digital tools; it’s making sure they lead to meaningful outcomes.The Boardroom Test for Digital ReliabilityAmit Khanna believes […]

When manufacturers discuss predictive analytics, the focus often jumps straight to machine learning models or AI. But as the panel “Predict, Prevent, Optimize: Real Results from Augmented Industrial Data” made clear, the biggest challenge isn’t the math—it’s the plumbing. Data has to move quickly, cleanly, and at scale. Without that foundation, even the smartest model will […]

When factories run on thin margins and even a few minutes of downtime can cost millions, the conversation about autonomous AI shifts from can we to should we. At the “Agentic AI in Manufacturing: From Copilots to Autonomous Systems” session during AI Frontiers 2025, organized by IIoT World, the audience put this challenge directly to the panel: In sectors where downtime […]

Across the industrial sector, many companies launch promising IIoT pilots. Yet only a fraction of them manage to expand those proof-of-concepts into enterprise-wide deployments. The difference isn’t usually about ambition—it’s about execution. At AI Frontiers 2025, our speakers explored this very challenge, outlining what separates pilots that fizzle from those that successfully scale.Data Foundations FirstScalable […]

Autonomous AI on the factory floor is not just a technical challenge — it’s a human one. Operators want to know they can trust the system. Executives need accountability. Security teams demand resilience. At the “Agentic AI in Manufacturing: From Copilots to Autonomous Systems” session during AI Frontiers 2025, organized by IIoT World, audience questions cut straight […]

PoCs get a bad rap in factories—they often feel like science projects that never leave the lab. They don’t have to. When a PoC is designed to prove scale, not just possibility, it becomes the fastest path to real plant results. This piece distills a candid question from AI Frontiers 2025 into a practical, no-fluff playbook drawn from […]

In semiconductor fabs, progress has long been measured in nanometers. But the next great leap isn’t happening on the wafer — it’s happening in how factories see, think, and respond. Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping inspection, maintenance, and operational decision-making, marking a shift from human reaction to digital foresight.From Human Vision to Machine IntelligenceFor decades, […]

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 […]
