Before an energy company can use artificial intelligence to predict a pipeline fault or optimize a drilling schedule, it must solve a physical problem. The industry's most valuable data isn't in the cloud; it's in filing…
As manufacturing moves toward 2026, the landscape of predictive maintenance is shifting from simple condition monitoring to "Agentic AI", systems that don't just alert you, but autonomously plan and execute multi-step resolutions. This evolution requires a…
The industrial sector is accelerating the adoption of practical, high-impact AI applications. Based on insights from IIoT World Days 2025, industry leaders focus on scaling these technologies across global operations. From Agentic AI that autonomously manages supply chains to Computer…
AI-driven decision making in manufacturing delivers measurable results when leadership commitment, operator trust, and incremental scaling align. In a conversation between Alec Glenn of JSW Steel USA and Karthikeyan Natarajan, Co-CEO of Infinite Uptime, concrete outcomes…
In most plants, data visibility has improved dramatically. Modern time series databases connect seamlessly with SCADA systems, historians, and operational dashboards, giving teams real-time insight into production. This foundational layer—basic monitoring—has become table stakes in manufacturing.…
Servitization, the shift from selling equipment to delivering ongoing outcomes, is redefining manufacturing competition. Service contracts can deliver margins of 25% or more, compared to roughly 10% on new equipment sales. According to McKinsey, OEMs with…
Manufacturers today face a critical gap: factories are full of dashboards showing vibration graphs, torque curves, and temperature plots, yet critical equipment still fails unexpectedly. Experts from InfluxData, CGI, Bosch, and Trask identify the fix: moving…
The manufacturing sector faces a persistent tension: should organizations build all digital capabilities in-house or leverage external partners? The answer, increasingly, is neither—it's both, strategically combined. The Cost of Doing Everything Yourself Many industrial leaders assume…
Connected devices and sensors support automated energy management and delivery, seamless integrations and predictive maintenance. It’s no secret that much of the US electric grid urgently needs an upgrade. The 1960s and 70s saw the construction…
The "Predict, Prevent, Optimize" panel at AI Frontiers 2025 identified the primary barrier to scaling predictive analytics in manufacturing: not machine learning models, but the data pipelines that must move sensor readings quickly, cleanly, and in…
How Industrial AI Is Transforming Operations, Workforce, and Decision-Making at Scale Cognite’s Impact 2025 made one thing clear: the era of reactive operations is over. Across both days, the narrative centered on proactive intelligence, powered by…
Industrial companies produce more machine data than ever before. Sensors, connected equipment, and automated systems generate terabytes of raw data every single day. Yet, most of this information never translates into measurable value. It either sits…
