When Yield Becomes Sustainability — Redefining Efficiency in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Sustainability used to sit on the periphery of semiconductor manufacturing — an environmental checkbox managed by a separate team. That era is over. The next generation of fabs is proving that sustainability is not a corporate…
Industrial AI in Practice: Siemens Transforms Factory Data into Performance
At the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Artificial Intelligence is not an experiment—it’s part of everyday production. The facility shows how industrial AI can improve how machines sense, analyze, and act, helping teams turn factory data into measurable results.…
Why Every Semiconductor Fab Needs a Digital Twin Strategy — Not Just Digital Tools
The semiconductor industry is moving faster than its tools can keep up. The pace of change, the explosion of data, and the pressure to build fabs in record time are colliding — and the result is…
What Makes the Difference Between an IIoT Pilot That Stalls and One That Scales?
Across the industrial sector, many companies launch promising IIoT pilots. Yet only a fraction of them manage to expand those proof-of-concepts into enterprise-wide deployments. The difference isn’t usually about ambition—it’s about execution. At AI Frontiers 2025,…
Rethinking Operational Precision: Why Indoor Industries Need Their GPS Moment
Do you remember life before GPS? Many of us can, but only faintly — folding maps in the car, printing directions, or stopping at gas stations for help. It wasn’t long ago, yet it already feels…
The End of the Pixel Counter Era — How AI Is Quietly Transforming Semiconductor Manufacturing
In semiconductor fabs, progress has long been measured in nanometers. But the next great leap isn’t happening on the wafer — it’s happening in how factories see, think, and respond. Artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping inspection,…
Modernizing Without Disruption: A Practical Approach to Industrial Data Growth
Industrial operations depend on data historians to record what’s happening on the line or in the field. But as systems evolve toward Industry 4.0, many teams find that their historians weren’t built for what’s next —…
How AI and the Digital Thread Improve Machine Tool Systems
Artificial intelligence and digital connectivity are transforming how machine tools operate — from the way parts are designed and programmed to how data flows across production. The combination of AI-driven automation and a digital thread enables…
Digital Twins in CNC: From Virtual Proof to Profit
The race in CNC machining is no longer about who has the fastest spindle—it’s about who can validate reality before cutting metal. Across global manufacturing, digital twin technology is emerging as a quiet disruptor, letting engineers simulate…
From Paper to Pixels: Why Sheet Metal Fabrication Needs a Digital Traveller
Walk into many sheet metal shops today, and you’ll still find one of the most critical workflows running on a surprisingly fragile medium: paper. Job travellers, or the packets of instructions that follow a part from…
