In this episode, I sit down with James Zhang, co-founder and CPO of OpsMate AI, to explore the game-changing role of AI agents in factory operations. We discuss why traditional human-centric manufacturing models are hitting their limits and how a hybrid workforce—combining humans, robots, and digital agents—can address the skilled labor shortage and boost productivity.
James shares firsthand insights into the unique challenges of deploying AI in diverse factory environments, the importance of knowledge graphs, and why empowering frontline teams is key to successful adoption. If you’re curious about the practical steps to bring AI agents onto your shop floor, or just want to understand what the future of industrial automation looks like, this conversation is for you.
