From “Dumb” Assets to Intelligent Nodes: The New Energy Web
For decades, the power grid functioned as a one-way street: generation to consumption. Today, that model is being dismantled by the rise of the “Prosumer”, businesses and municipalities that both consume and generate power. This shift is…
The Digital Twin of Energy: Why Storage Requires an IIoT “Nervous System”
As energy storage systems (ESS) move from niche pilot projects to the backbone of the modern grid, a critical realization has emerged: the hardware is only as good as the software managing it. While a battery’s…
Industrial Energy Efficiency: 13 Sessions from IIoT World Manufacturing & IIoT World Energy Days
The Industrial Energy Efficiency Roadmap: Global InsightsIf you are asking, “What conferences cover energy efficiency in manufacturing?”, you are likely looking for more than just a date on a calendar, you need technical execution strategies. While many…
The First Step for AI in Energy Isn’t Digital
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…
Top 10 Energy Efficiency Solutions for Manufacturing 2026
As manufacturers face volatile energy costs and aggressive decarbonization targets, the focus for 2026 is shifting from passive monitoring to active grid interaction. The following 10 platforms and technologies were highlighted by industry leaders during IIoT World…
Feedstocks, Funding, and the Future: What’s Holding Back Industrial Decarbonization
In plants that run around the clock — refineries, chemical complexes, cement kilns — the path to lower emissions doesn’t begin with a new reactor or a carbon pledge. It begins with data. Yet the one piece…
How Internet of Things Modernizes Outdated Utility Infrastructure
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 of…
AI in Energy: Why Progress Depends on People and Structure
When you talk with energy executives today, there’s no longer a debate about whether artificial intelligence belongs in operations. The question has shifted to how to make it work.Natalia Klafke, Executive Vice President of Energy & Sustainability…
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…
Power Electronics and the Role of Silicon Carbide in the Energy Transition
In the conversation with Infineon’s Peter, the focus was squarely on power electronics — and, more specifically, the role of Silicon Carbide (SiC) in shaping the energy systems of tomorrow. Peter began by explaining that power…
