Manufacturers have spent ten to twenty years installing sensors and connecting machines. The data flows, but it rarely reaches AI. At the Industrial AI Summit 2026, Jonathan Alexander of Albemarle Corporation, Peter Sorowka of Cybus, and…
A cement manufacturer using AI to optimize a flame that changes in fractions of seconds cannot wait for data to travel to a cloud server and back. This gap was a key topic covered at the…
Most manufacturers know they need to start with AI. The common advice, "start small" with a use case, prove value, and scale, is incomplete on its own. Starting small without first thinking big leads to a…
Manufacturing competition used to center on the mechanical speed of production lines and the efficiency of output. The advantage now belongs to organizations that react to data faster, catching a quality drift, a mechanical failure signal,…
In manufacturing, the window between a small deviation and a costly event can be measured in seconds. A vibration pattern shifts, a batch parameter drifts, a temperature moves outside its normal band. The data exists, but…
