PoCs get a bad rap in factories—they often feel like science projects that never leave the lab. They don’t have to. When a PoC is designed to prove scale, not just possibility, it becomes the fastest path to real plant results. This piece distills a candid question from AI Frontiers 2025 into a practical, no-fluff playbook drawn from […]

Agentic AI in manufacturing does not require a multiyear overhaul to deliver value. According to Arch Systems, the fastest path is to start at the human-machine interface (HMI): let the AI assistant read what operators already read, such as HMI views, SCADA trends, shift notes, and SOPs, and provide guidance in advisory mode from day […]
