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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Agentic AI is rapidly moving from research labs into production environments, powering everything from autonomous workflows in supply chains to connected medical devices and industrial automation. Unlike traditional generative AI, which produces outputs based on prompts, Agentic AI systems can perceive, reason, and act — executing tasks across enterprise applications, often without human intervention.For industries already operating […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

As real-time IIoT platforms gain ground, manufacturers must shift from solving problems manually to designing systems that solve problems autonomously.Digital transformation isn’t just about plugging in new tools—it’s about changing how work gets done. One of the most powerful, yet under-discussed shifts in manufacturing today is the evolving role of engineers. As IIoT platforms become […]
