We’re halfway there. June marks the mid-point of an already eventful year for manufacturing and industrial technology. Governmental influence on tariffs and sustainability benchmarking has reset the way many manufacturing companies are forecasting the ensuing quarters.…
Access to the correct assets, equipment, and raw materials at the right time is vital for maintaining production schedules in a busy factory. Workers can spend up to 20% of their time searching for missing tools,…
As manufacturers continue to navigate evolving demands, supply chain complexity, and fast-paced technological change, the need for scalable, intelligent, and resilient systems is front and center. The MESI 4.0 Summit 2025, hosted by Critical Manufacturing, offers a platform…
The convergence of edge AI and centralized intelligence hubs is creating a new operational architecture for manufacturers seeking real-time decision-making without sacrificing data governance or scalability. In this article, IIoT World examines how pairing local inference…
Industrial AI is no longer an emerging concept; it is actively transforming how manufacturers automate processes, predict failures, and optimize output. In this guide, IIoT World examines the most significant industrial AI and automation trends that…
Volatility has become the norm in global manufacturing—driven by trade tensions, shifting tariffs, talent shortages, and fragile supply chains. In this environment, agility isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a competitive necessity. That’s the focus of “Thriving Amid Uncertainty: Building…
At Hannover Messe 2025, John Harrington of HighByte offered a timely reminder: as AI races ahead in the industrial sector, the infrastructure supporting it—specifically, DataOps—needs to keep up. While AI dominates the headlines, its power is fundamentally…
Manufacturing AI is evolving beyond dashboards and predictive alerts into a new paradigm: autonomous agents that can perceive their environment, reason about constraints, and take action without waiting for human approval. This IIoT World explainer maps…
At Hannover Messe 2025, the conversation around digital transformation in manufacturing felt more urgent than ever. But amid the excitement, Stephen Graham, Executive Vice President and General Manager at Nexus, offered a grounded reminder: for small…
Industrial AI is rapidly shifting from pilot programs to production-grade deployments, and the factory edge is where that shift matters most. In this guide, IIoT World examines the current state of AI at the edge of…
The factory of the future is not being built from the cloud down; it is being rebuilt from the edge up. In this article, IIoT World explores how modern edge data architectures are fundamentally changing manufacturing…
At Hannover Messe 2025, I sat down with Mathias Oppelt, Vice President and Head of Customer-Driven Innovation at Siemens Digital Industries, to explore what manufacturers really want from digital transformation—and what’s still holding many of them back. The…
