From APIs to Digital Twins: Warehouse Integration Strategies for Smarter Supply Chains

The landscape of warehousing and supply chains is changing rapidly. Modern manufacturers, distributors, and energy companies face rising customer expectations for speed and transparency; for example, over 90% of U.S. consumers now expect 2–3 day delivery and one-third expect same-day shipping. To meet these demands, businesses are turning their warehouses into smart, connected hubs. This […]

The Convergence of Cybersecurity, Compliance, and ESG: The New Enterprise Risk Equation

Enterprise risk management is entering a new phase where cybersecurity, compliance, and sustainability are no longer separate issues. Instead, they are converging into a single risk equation that defines how enterprises are judged by regulators, investors, and customers alike.The shift is being driven by several forces. First, cyber threats are escalating in both scale and sophistication, making downtime, data […]

Enabling Connected Operations Through Real-Time Machine Monitoring, Predictive Maintenance, and Automation

In many industrial organizations, operations and maintenance teams still walk into work with more uncertainty than confidence. There are checklists to follow, logs to review, and a familiar set of problems that always seem one step ahead. Something breaks, someone reacts, and the system limps forward. That rhythm is common across transport, utilities, manufacturing, and […]

Why Most IoT Data Is Useless—And What Manufacturers Can Do About It

Without high-quality asset master data, manufacturers risk wasting 90% of their IoT insights. Here’s how to change that.Manufacturers are racing to implement AI, digital twins, and predictive analytics—but most are leaving value on the table. According to IBM, 90% of industrial data collected goes unused. That’s not a tech failure. It’s a data foundation failure.During […]

From Waste to Intelligence: AI’s Role in Powering the Circular Industrial Economy

As industries race to meet sustainability targets, a quiet shift is taking place—one that moves beyond net-zero goals and toward circular economy thinking. No longer just a compliance checkbox, circularity is becoming a competitive advantage. And increasingly, AI is the engine, making it viable at scale.Today’s linear production models—extract, make, dispose—are no longer tenable in a world […]

Scaling Factory Expertise: Achieve Expert-Level Diagnostics 10x Faster with AI

Manufacturers today are navigating a perfect storm: surging production demands, a retiring workforce, and legacy equipment that can’t keep pace with modern expectations. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, 1.9 million jobs may remain unfilled in the next decade, with many vacancies driven by retiring subject matter experts (SMEs). This creates costly gaps in troubleshooting, […]

Before the AI Magic: Why Manufacturing’s Biggest GenAI Problem Is Still Data

Generative AI promises a revolution on the shop floor—faster decision-making, adaptive production, smarter quality control. But ask any manufacturing leader what’s actually slowing things down, and you won’t hear about algorithms. You’ll hear about data.At IIoT World’s Manufacturing Day, the conversation around GenAI quickly turned from excitement to infrastructure. The verdict? Manufacturers aren’t short on […]
