Data breaches in the manufacturing industry rose 89% year over year, reaching 1,607 confirmed cases in 2025 compared to 849 in 2024, according to Verizon’s DBIR Report. The driver is the increasing connection between IT and OT systems. Files that once stayed within isolated networks, such as CAD designs, predictive maintenance logs, and supplier updates, […]

For two decades, manufacturers have tried to make analytics, machine learning, and AI work with industrial data, and for most of that time the bottleneck had nothing to do with the technology itself. It was the data layer. This IIoT World article, based on a pre-Hannover Messe 2026 interview with Torey Penrod-Cambra (VP Marketing, HighByte), […]

A battery cell is roughly the size of a cell phone. A battery enclosure is the size of a shipping container. A single site can have thousands of those containers, and for each individual cell inside, operators need state of charge and state of health readings every one to 10 seconds, or even faster during […]

A German automotive manufacturer with 37,000 employees and 3 production sites used to stop the line for up to three hours every time it needed a configuration update. Each update cost between €280,000 and €1,700,000. The risk was so high that updates only happened twice a year, during production holidays. Today, the same manufacturer deploys […]

Why AI risk in factories is no longer just a cybersecurity issueManufacturers are beginning to use AI in areas that influence real operational decisions: quality analysis, anomaly detection, process optimization, and predictive maintenance. As this accelerates, a new category of risk is emerging, one that is fundamentally different from traditional IT or OT security.The question […]

In the race to automate, many manufacturers are hitting a wall. It is not a lack of processing power or a shortage of LLMs. It is a trust problem. The “bottleneck” to scaling AI in the industrial sector is data provenance, the ability to prove exactly where a piece of data originated and how it has […]
