Building Trust in Autonomous AI for High-Stakes Manufacturing
When factories run on thin margins and even a few minutes of downtime can cost millions, the conversation about autonomous AI shifts from can we to should we. At the “Agentic AI in Manufacturing: From Copilots to Autonomous Systems”…
Embedding AI Agents Into Industrial Data Pipelines: What Manufacturers Should Watch
At Cognite’s 2025 event, Laxmi Akkaraju, SVP Global Services and Solutions, Cognite, spotlighted a new paradigm in industrial AI: agents embedded directly into data workflows, not merely layered on top as analytics. For manufacturers, this shift promises…
AI in Energy Is Growing Up: From Analytics to Real Operations
For years, AI in energy meant better dashboards, faster analytics, and smarter reports. Useful — but limited. Now, something more important is happening: AI is moving from describing what happened to deciding what to do next.This shift…
Building the Data Foundations for Agentic AI in Manufacturing
Manufacturers know that AI is only as good as the data behind it. For agentic AI — systems that act on their own in real time — data silos, latency, and inconsistent architectures are often the biggest…
Agentic AI and IIoT: Complex Questions and Expert Perspectives
At AI Frontiers, the panel on Agentic AI & Integrated Data Workflows generated more questions than could be answered live. To continue the discussion, Andrew Scheuermann, CEO of Arch Systems, recorded a series of short video…
Industrial Copilots: From Assistants to Essential Team Members
In recent years, AI has made significant strides in augmenting human capability across industries. Now, in manufacturing and industrial environments, we are witnessing the emergence of a new class of AI assistants—industrial copilots. These systems are…
From Pilot Purgatory to Generative AI: Building Scalable IIoT and Machine Learning in Manufacturing
The promise of IIoT and machine learning in manufacturing is well understood – predictive maintenance, optimized energy use, and real-time quality control can save millions in downtime and waste. Yet many organizations remain stuck in “pilot…
