Why Edge AI Depends on a Unified Data Foundation
TL;DR Industrial organizations have more data than ever, but much of it remains siloed. AI requires contextualized, accessible data to deliver meaningful value. Edge architectures provide low-latency access to high-fidelity operational data. Local LLMs improve...
AI in Industrial Operations: Seven Battlegrounds Where the Quiet Revolution Is Already Running
In a recent LinkedIn article, Emerson’s Gertjan van der Ven, Vice President of Global Project Pursuit, argues that while boardrooms stay fixated on foundational models and enterprise chatbots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already doing the harder work on the plant...
SaaS Is Changing the Dynamics of Predictive Maintenance
Why this matters now A strong reliability program has long been tied directly to improved production, safety, and operational performance. Today’s sensing technologies deliver unprecedented visibility into asset health, enabling teams to keep critical equipment...
Improving Mining Reliability with Wireless Monitoring and Edge AI
Why this matters now Mining has always been a challenging industry. Mine sites are inherently dirty operations and are often situated in very remote locations. As critical minerals become increasingly scarce, those conditions are exacerbated, as mining operations are...
Modern Reliability Requires a Unified Data Fabric
Why this matters now Modern manufacturing organizations have invested heavily in sensing technologies and reliability software to improve visibility into plant operations. While these tools have delivered value, they have also introduced new challenges when deployed...
Bridging the Skills Cliff with Next-Gen Maintenance Technology
The global experienced workforce shortage in process manufacturing comes as no surprise to anyone. Industry has been predicting an expertise cliff for years if not decades, and it’s finally here. But what people didn’t anticipate quite as clearly was the parallel...
Reliability Without the Reliance on Tribal Knowledge
Driving the reliability necessary to compete in the modern process manufacturing marketplace is more challenging than ever. Once upon a time, reliability teams could rely on expert personnel to regularly walk the plant and keep an eye and ear out for where machines...
The Golden Age of Life Sciences Innovation Needs Smarter Data
There exists an interesting tension in the life sciences industry; while people have access to more treatments for more maladies than at any other time in human history, there is also increasing pressure to deliver new, innovative treatments. For evidence, simply look...
