Manufacturers investing in AI, advanced analytics, and autonomous systems face a recurring problem: the data underneath these initiatives is not ready to support them. Amazon Web Services and HighByte published a 25-page white paper, "A Maturity…
Industrial environments have been built one use case at a time, leaving most large manufacturers with fragmented IT and OT infrastructure. A manufacturer with 10 sites might run four different home-grown MES platforms, three different ERPs,…
Agentic AI will bring thousands, potentially tens of thousands, of AI agents to the factory floor. Every one of them will need data, and not all data. Agents do not perform well when exposed to massive…
ABB resolves 80% of measurement device faults through an AI copilot, without a support call. HighByte compressed Alcon's one-year plant-wide digital transformation to less than one month. InfluxData and Litmus take manufacturers from three sites to…
For two decades, manufacturers have tried to make analytics, machine learning, and AI work with industrial data, and for most of that time the bottleneck had nothing to do with the technology itself. It was the…
Most factory data architectures today serve between 10 and 50 consuming systems. Agentic AI will push that number into the thousands, a 100x increase in edge-based data consumers. The ISA-95 layer-by-layer model was not designed for…
The manufacturing industry has reached a critical inflection point. The era of "pilot purgatory" is over. Based on the insights from IIoT World Days 2025, the next phase of industrial transformation is defined by three core…
Life sciences manufacturers operate in environments where innovation and compliance must coexist. But how is that possible in practice, and what use cases are emerging across the industry? In a recent webinar hosted by IIoT World, “Adapting GxP…
Modern manufacturers face a paradox: despite generating more data than ever, as much as 80–95% of valuable operational data remains unused. The result? Missed opportunities, fragmented visibility, and stalled digital transformation efforts. Our new executive booklet, based…
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 initiatives fail far more often from poor data foundations than from flawed algorithms. For C-level leaders overseeing digital transformation, the strategic question is not which AI platform to buy but whether their organization's data…
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…
