Your Most Critical AI Model Isn’t an LLM: It’s Your Document Pre-Processor

A decisive shift is underway for manufacturers implementing artificial intelligence. The focus is moving from the selection of large language models to the systems that prepare data for them. The accuracy and trustworthiness of any AI-driven decision—from supply chain logistics to predictive maintenance—are determined long before a query reaches an LLM. They are determined by […]

What Manufacturing Leaders Misjudged About AI in 2025

In 2025, many manufacturers implemented artificial intelligence across forecasting, logistics, and supplier risk scoring, expecting breakthroughs. By year-end, though, a pattern had emerged: AI improved awareness and decision support, but it did not eliminate uncertainty or deliver automatic resilience. AI doesn’t replace judgment — it augments it Procter & Gamble’s Jamie McIntyre Horstman explained that machine […]

Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering People and Building Trust Through Transformation

Industrial organizations are no strangers to transformation. While technology has long been a catalyst for progress, the accelerating speed and complexity of change means that tools alone can no longer deliver a lasting competitive advantage. The real differentiator of organizational success now lies in how people, processes, and platforms come together to create lasting value.The […]

AI May Be Ready for Manufacturing. But Is Manufacturing Ready for AI?

For the past few years, manufacturers have heard the same message on repeat: AI is ready for industry. But a quieter question is now being asked inside control rooms and boardrooms alike — is industry ready for AI?At this year’s Honeywell User Group in The Hague, that question came into focus. Beneath the enthusiasm around artificial intelligence […]
