Regulatory Compliance and ICS Security: What Manufacturers Need to Know Now

Industrial control systems (ICS) are the backbone of modern manufacturing—but they’re also becoming prime targets for cyberattacks. With 70% of manufacturers facing attacks each year and average downtimes lasting 24 days, the cost of inaction is too high to ignore. That’s why regulatory compliance and ICS security are no longer optional—they are essential for operational resilience and business […]

Predictive Maintenance with AI: Extending the Life of Industrial Machines

For manufacturers, downtime is costly. Studies show that 82% of industrial asset failures are random, making scheduled maintenance often ineffective. This is where AI-powered predictive maintenance, enabled by IIoT technologies, is changing the way factories care for machines—helping to cut downtime, lower costs, and extend equipment lifespans.At one of the editions of IIoT World Manufacturing Days, experts from […]

Scaling Smart Manufacturing with IIoT, ML, and Generative AI

Talk to any plant manager and you’ll hear the same frustration: too many proofs of concept, not enough results. The real opportunity isn’t running another pilot—it’s building scalable systems that deliver measurable value every day. That’s where Industrial IoT (IIoT), machine learning (ML), and now generative AI (GenAI) are starting to prove their worth, not in isolated demos but across […]

Agentic AI Isn’t a Product – It’s an Integrated Business Strategy

Everyone’s talking about AI. From pilot projects and co-pilots to promising dashboards, artificial intelligence is cropping up left and right in manufacturing. What’s rare, however, are wide-scale implementations that deliver measurable results on the factory floor. In fact, IDC estimates that 88% of proof of concept (POC) projects fail to make it out of the […]

Factory Expertise, Now Scaled by AI

Every factory depends on expertise — the intuition of a technician who can hear when a nozzle is misaligned, or the experience of an engineer who can trace yield loss back to a single feeder. But that expertise is disappearing fast, even as machines generate more diagnostic data than ever before.This new white paper, GenAI, Operational […]

AI-Enabled Predictive Analytics: From Reliability to True Grid Resilience

Extreme weather events, rising renewable penetration, and cyber risks are exposing a critical weakness in global power systems: our grids were designed for reliability, not resilience. While reliability is about minimizing day-to-day interruptions, resilience is about recovering quickly from major disruptions – whether a hurricane, wildfire, or coordinated cyberattack.In a recent IIoT World panel, experts […]

From Pilot Purgatory to Generative AI: Building Scalable IIoT and Machine Learning in Manufacturing

The promise of IIoT and machine learning in manufacturing is well understood – predictive maintenance, optimized energy use, and real-time quality control can save millions in downtime and waste. Yet many organizations remain stuck in “pilot purgatory”: running isolated projects that never scale across sites.The session “Accelerating Innovation and Agility in Manufacturing with IIoT and Machine […]
