Why access to machine data is becoming a strategic issueFor years, many manufacturers operated with limited access to the data generated by their own machines. Interfaces were proprietary, extraction was restricted, and meaningful reuse often required additional contracts or fees. This shaped how digital initiatives evolved—and, in many cases, why they stalled.EU data regulation is […]

Answering the audience’s questionsIntegrating agentic AI into legacy manufacturing does not require replacing existing infrastructure. Panelists from Litmus, ZF Group, CESMII, and Arch Systems at AI Frontiers 2025 outlined a practical six-part approach: free trapped data, add semantic context through ontologies, respect brownfield reality using interface classes, target repetitive tasks nobody wants to do, start […]

The Asset Administrative Shell (AAS) is a structured digital envelope around a factory asset that defines its signals, units, data lineage, and access rules. According to the AI Frontiers 2025 panel on smart manufacturing data, AAS can make factory data AI-ready, but only when paired with source-level validation, clear governance, and human oversight.What Is the […]
