Merging AI with operational technology (OT) is no simple
task, between concerns about robustness and reliability as well as data
privacy, there are many challenges to overcome. With that said, the potential
benefits make the endeavor worth the effort. Rather than bringing AI into every
aspect of manufacturing right away, the key for long-term success will be adopting
it gradually through small tasks with immediate benefit that also support
broader, long-term goals.
In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Ralf
Wagner, Senior Vice President of data-driven manufacturing at Siemens, to look
at the steps it will take to bring AI into the manufacturing and operations
world, the key insights he and his team have gained along the way and finally,
what the future will hold for AI in industry.
