Smart Industry

In this episode of Great Question, Andy Foster of IOTech joins our colleague Thomas Wilk to explain why the energy sector is increasingly using edge AI—and what this means for adoption in manufacturing.

The company's pitch for the new software package claims the product can shorten downtime for robots and improve factory floor operations in manufacturing and engineering.

The two Industrial software vendors have partnered on a new product that they say connects operational intelligence, enterprise execution and strategic capital planning.

To build the right model for a particular machine, you need more than just its sensor data. You also need your ERP data, your manufacturing execution system data, and dozens of data points from different sources.

The companies announced new AI and connectivity updates, prioritizing communication in industrial environments.

The department said it saved nearly $1 million by using AI and ML software to analyze driver-crowdsourced data.

Our brands asked Dave Evans of MISUMI Americas about evolving static supply chains using autonomous production systems and how U.S. manufacturing competitiveness could stand to benefit. Plus, Evans spoke on emerging applications for physical AI.

The brand-new company seeks to provide engineers and manufacturers in America with access to MISUMI's industrial expertise and supply chain connections.

The economics of edge-to-cloud are compelling: lower total cost of ownership, reduced infrastructure management, and access to large-scale operational data.

Small and medium-size businesses are less equipped to deal with attacks as all of manufacturing continues to be a top target, report concludes.
