The First Step for AI in Energy Isn’t Digital
Before an energy company can use artificial intelligence to predict a pipeline fault or optimize a drilling schedule, it must solve a physical problem. The industry’s most valuable data isn’t in the cloud; it’s in filing…
Top 10 Energy Efficiency Solutions for Manufacturing 2026
As manufacturers face volatile energy costs and aggressive decarbonization targets, the focus for 2026 is shifting from passive monitoring to active grid interaction. The following 10 platforms and technologies were highlighted by industry leaders during IIoT World…
Feedstocks, Funding, and the Future: What’s Holding Back Industrial Decarbonization
In plants that run around the clock — refineries, chemical complexes, cement kilns — the path to lower emissions doesn’t begin with a new reactor or a carbon pledge. It begins with data. Yet the one piece…
How Internet of Things Modernizes Outdated Utility Infrastructure
Connected devices and sensors support automated energy management and delivery, seamless integrations and predictive maintenance.It’s no secret that much of the US electric grid urgently needs an upgrade. The 1960s and 70s saw the construction of…
AI in Energy: Why Progress Depends on People and Structure
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…
AI in Energy Is Growing Up: From Analytics to Real Operations
For years, AI in energy meant better dashboards, faster analytics, and smarter reports. Useful — but limited. Now, something more important is happening: AI is moving from describing what happened to deciding what to do next.This shift…
Power Electronics and the Role of Silicon Carbide in the Energy Transition
In the conversation with Infineon’s Peter, the focus was squarely on power electronics — and, more specifically, the role of Silicon Carbide (SiC) in shaping the energy systems of tomorrow. Peter began by explaining that power…
Building Resilience Step by Step: Practical Adoption of Digital Twins
For many industrial and energy companies, the idea of deploying a full-scale digital twin across every asset can feel overwhelming. The reality, as highlighted during IIoT World Energy Day 2024, is that successful adoption doesn’t happen all…
How Digital Twins Deliver Clarity in Industrial Operations
In complex industrial and energy environments, clarity is often the hardest thing to achieve. Data flows in from thousands of sensors, but without context, it risks turning into a data swamp—volumes of information that overwhelm rather…
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…
