Industrial intelligence is rapidly becoming the defining competitive advantage for manufacturers, energy providers, and infrastructure operators worldwide. In this IIoT World analysis, we examine what Siemens showcased at CES 2026 and why it signals a turning…
Industrial AI learns from history — but in most plants, that history is a mess. Behind every AI pilot, there’s a decade of process data, maintenance logs, and scanned reports that were never designed to work…
In April 2020, half of the world’s population was in lockdown — yet critical infrastructure still had to run. Chemical plants, glass facilities, refineries, and energy systems couldn’t pause. Equipment still failed. Processes, drifted, and operators…
While manufacturers invest in AI and digital twin programs, the Adlib ebook “AI-Powered PLM in Manufacturing” reveals that most of the data required for those initiatives is buried in documents that machines can’t read. Across the industry,…
For the past few years, manufacturers have heard the same message on repeat: AI is ready for industry. But a quieter question is now being asked inside control rooms and boardrooms alike — is industry ready for AI?…
At Infinite Uptime’s CXO Circle in Bangkok, the discussion around industrial AI felt different. The room was filled with people who run plants. They weren’t asking whether AI belongs in manufacturing anymore. They were asking how…
In most industrial operations, digital reliability still means one thing: predicting failures before they happen. But as systems mature, that’s no longer enough. The next evolution is about using machine data to drive performance, not just prevention. Seeing…
Predictive monitoring catches failure modes that standard operating procedures and interlocks cannot: specifically, manual misconfigurations such as a valve left closed after maintenance. On a critical gear pump, IoT sensors detected rising bearing temperature and abnormal…
By 2028, AI-driven industrial plants will not only run autonomously, they will explain their decisions in real time. At the Honeywell User Group in The Hague, Honeywell Chief Product Officer Claudia Chandra and Adlib CEO Chris…
An upstream oil company in Asia built 140 AI applications across 11 offshore assets. Every application was critical to operations. None of them scaled beyond the site where it was built. Jason Schern, Field CTO at…
In semiconductor manufacturing, every scrapped wafer wastes electricity, water, and chemicals. Siemens' Brian Taylor states that sustainability "is not a separate track" from yield and throughput. The most efficient fab is, by this measure, the most…
At the Siemens Electronics Factory in Erlangen, Artificial Intelligence is not an experiment—it’s part of everyday production. The facility shows how industrial AI can improve how machines sense, analyze, and act, helping teams turn factory data into measurable results.…
