In the not-so-distant future, we won’t ask what AI 𝐜𝐚𝐧 do, but what it 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 do. To fully embrace its power, we need to shift our mindset from treating AI as an add-on to making it a core part of our strategy. This new approach, the Industrial AI Mindset, has four key elements: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 AI is more than a tech trend; it’s a business priority. Instead of thinking about an "AI strategy," think about how AI fits into your entire business strategy. It’s about using AI to transform how the whole company works, not just individual departments. AI shouldn’t just help you work better—it should help you think bigger. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲: 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 Data is the lifeblood of AI, but it needs to be the right data—clean, relevant, and available when you need it. It’s not enough to have data; you need to ensure that it’s shared across teams and used responsibly. Mastering data means setting a solid foundation for AI to work its magic, helping everyone make better, faster decisions. 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧-𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: 𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 AI isn’t here to replace humans—it’s here to enhance what we do. When AI is designed with humans in mind, it makes us more creative, productive, and informed. But trust matters. People will only embrace AI if it’s transparent and ethical. The goal is to build systems that amplify human potential while keeping fairness and transparency at the forefront. 𝐀𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 AI is moving fast, and so should you. Staying agile is key to surviving in this ever-evolving space. Companies need to be open to experimenting, learning, and quickly adapting. With AI advancing rapidly—like Microsoft’s 150+ copilots and GPT-4—you’ve got to be ready to pivot and innovate, or you risk falling behind.

Author: Iain Wallace "Industrial Control System Asset Visibility: Protecting More Than 1%" emphasizes the importance of knowing and managing all assets within an industrial control system (ICS). Drawing a parallel to the British Museum's recent scandal, where up to 2,000 artifacts were stolen over 30 years due to poor inventory management, the article highlights how similar oversight can occur in industrial environments. Just as the museum failed to account for most of its eight million items, industrial facilities often struggle with managing thousands of interconnected digital assets. Automating asset inventory and management is crucial to prevent such issues. For industrial control systems, automated tools can detect missing or faulty assets and maintain up-to-date backups. Hexagon’s PAS Cyber Integrity® software offers a solution by creating a comprehensive, regularly updated asset inventory across multiple vendor systems. This software also provides consistent configuration management, vulnerability assessment, and compliance monitoring. By ensuring thorough asset visibility, Cyber Integrity helps industrial facilities avoid the significant risks posed by unmanaged or unmonitored assets, ultimately reducing the likelihood of incidents similar to those faced by the British Museum. Here’s the link to the full article: https://lnkd.in/g9i2Shf3

Innovation is in the core of everything we do. By thinking differently, applying different techniques to solve existing problems or finding ways to execute our work faster, we are innovation and creating value to ourselves as well as others. If the only constant is change, innovation is the constant fuel for change. We can't change without innovation. Todd Walden wrote a nice article about how we see innovation accelerating in the future, using AI, Machine Learning, Cloud, Edge and Zero Trust. Todd, thanks for featuring our conversations and recent articles in such a nice and concise article. #emerson #boundlessautomation https://lnkd.in/gJ7MFmm8

🌍 In light of current geopolitical tensions, a top #ICS manufacturer suggests disconnecting internet-exposed control systems as a proactive step. To be candid, direct accessibility of any control system from the internet is ill-advised. Your system should be enveloped in layers of protection. If you suspect vulnerability in your system, let's have a conversation. 🗣 #cisa, #controlsystems, #dcs, #scada https://lnkd.in/gnEQZb7t.

Xemelgo is an embrace & extend solution that is able to connect heterogeneous systems, completely eliminating the "𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤" challenge. From Supply Chain Brain... When digital transformation became non-negotiable for manufacturers, it ushered in a slew of new apps and tools. Soon, various teams had their favorite “shortcuts” for getting work done. Yet when it came time to roll up numbers, pull weekly or quarterly reports, or simply get a big picture view of what was happening across the business, those shortcuts and internal workarounds meant lots of hours spent rekeying information and cobbling it together from all those various tools. The wasted time and resources are known as 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤, and it can seriously impact productivity, profit, and employee morale.

I'm very excited to announce the copia copilot for industrial code. We started work on copia copilot with the idea that code generation tools that have transformed software engineering workflows could have a similar impact on the people who build our most fundamental infrastructure. The vision of copia copilot was to build a copilot that leveraged copia's existing rendering to generate ladder logic so controls engineers could use LLM's ergonomically in the same way that software engineers do. And this is exactly what we built. However, as we built the solution and worked with our early alpha customers we found that our solution solved a number of other meaningful problems as well: documentation, code analysis, natural language summaries of code, and even code translation turning structured text to ladder logic and back. We're still learning a lot about these tools and the impact they will have on the way industrial code is written. Today we make this tool available for existing source control users as an open beta. We've already gotten amazing feedback from early users, and we're excited to expand the audience more broadly. Shout out to the team that brought this to market: Chris Li Nicholas Buchele Surbhi S Gupta Gerry Abbey Abbey (Whitley) McGlynn and many others including Copia Automation employees who gave feedback. Finally, thank you to our early alpha customers who helped keep us honest in building a tool that could deliver real impact.

Yesterday, Thomas Burke, the visionary and founder of the OPC Foundation, joined me for a discussion on the #Industry4 Community Podcast. To say the conversation is an enlightening one, would be the understatement of the century. The entire conversation centers around three topics: 1. What was the original intent of OPC for Industry? Tom and I start with the origin story of OPC DA, where the OPC Foundation came from and cover the evolution of the organization and the standard. 2. Where has the OPC Foundation lost its way? I don't want to give this away -- so I'll let Tom do the talking. 3. If you had a magic wand and could wave your hand and do three things that would get the foundation back on the right path, what would they be? Again -- I'll let Tom do the talking here. All along the way, Tom shares great stories and sheds light on the journey -- the original mission, the challenges, the successes -- you will not want to miss this one. We are currently finalizing plans for having Tom join us at ProveIt! Conference in February... to be one of 3 guests who will headline the Fireside Chat (think legends of industry who have all focused on interoperability). A huge thank you to the folks behind the scenes who facilitated this discussion. The podcast drops tomorrow. #digitaltransformation #iiot #unifiednamespace

The key components of the Algae Matrix Bioreactor Tank System (AMTS) with IoT-Automation (AMTS-IoT) by #EVES ENERGY, like any other IoT system, can be broken down into several main elements¹²³: 1. **Sensors and Actuators**: These are the devices that capture data from the environment or perform actions based on the received instructions. In the context of AMTS-IoT, these could be sensors that monitor temperature, humidity, light, motion, acceleration, smoke, chemical particles, and pressure². 2. **Device Connectivity**: This refers to the connectivity of the sensors to a device or a part of the device. The device itself has an element that allows it to connect to the network to transmit data to the cloud and receive commands. The network could be Wi-Fi, cellular, or other technologies². 3. **Data Processing**: This is the stage where the collected data is processed and analyzed. Advanced analytics platforms process the data produced. This information can be used for predictive maintenance as well as to modify to achieve maximum efficiency in business processes¹. 4. **User Interface**: This is the part of the system that allows users to interact with the IoT system. It could be a dashboard displaying real-time data, or it could be a set of controls that allow users to manually adjust the settings of the IoT devices¹. These components work together to enable the seamless flow of data, allowing businesses and individuals to derive meaningful insights and enhance their operations³. In the case of AMTS-IoT, these components help in the efficient production of eco-friendly algae oil². Source: (1) What are the Main Components of IoT? - Digital Directions. https://lnkd.in/g5R_bVq9.
