- Life sciences industry's big win: last in the digitalization race
Every process industry is unique, but few have the life-or-death stakes of the life sciences industry. This cost of failure, the regulatory burden that results and the heavy data load of the industry have slowed its adoption of new digitalization technologies, like comprehensive Digital Twins and artificial intelligence (AI).
But this delay has a silver lining. The life sciences industry can now implement new digitalization tools that have been proven and perfected by others. And they can do so during a time where the industry stands to improve more than any other has.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 00:50 – What Digital Transformation challenges uniquely affect life sciences
- 04:48 – How an explosion of data in life sciences outpaces other industries
- 07:01 – How this explosion of data affects the adoption of digitalization tools like AI

13 min - Lattice Boltzmann is the future of CFD. Update now.
Chemical producers need quick answers when faced with operational issues. The opportunity cost of waiting for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results is too high.
Digital twins powered by the lattice Boltzmann method changes this dynamic. These digital twins, produced by Latticept, enable operators to test multiple scenarios, fixes, and optimizations in seconds.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 01:00 – How fast is the lattice Boltzmann method compared to traditional CFD
- 02:58 – How the method produces better results than competing technologies
- 12:09 – Why the future of CFD is not AI, it is the lattice Boltzmann method

17 min - What BFSI must do now to prepare for AI
The future of AI in the banking, insurance, and financial industry
(BFSI) will be driven not just by technology, but by trusted data, stronggovernance, and pragmatic execution. Institutions that build solid datafoundations and focus on achievable AI use cases are most likely to realize meaningful business value and lead the next wave of digital transformation in BFSI.In this Industry Forward podcast episode, host Kate Eby continues
her discussion with Dylan Tancill, Vice President of Sales and Global Head of BFSI at Siemens Digital Industries Software, covering the ways financial institutions are moving from AI experimentation to enterprise-scale implementation while balancing compliance and trust.In this episode, you’ll learn:
- The importance of keeping the human in the loop as AI improves
speed and insights- How BFSI organizations can connect data, models and
processes through the digital thread- Ways to implement knowledge graphs to build better AI agents
- Challenges in modernization and ways to sidestep them
29 min - Hidden industrial AI secrets from beer, bees and more
As industrial AI becomes a necessity, process industry experts will face many challenges implementing the digital transformations necessary to deploy the technology. Fortunately, experts in adjacent industries are already a few steps ahead on this journey. To succeed, manufacturing experts must rely on the experience of these trailblazers.
That is why this episode of the Industry Forward podcast features John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software, talking to Fred Husman, Senior Program Manager at SkyIO. In it, Husman discuss his over three decades worth of digitalization lessons from the beer industry and his bee-keeping hobby.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 01:08 – What traceability and sustainability lessons brewing can teach the industry
- 09:22 – How new data extractions can be implemented without plant downtime
- 11:47 – What cybersecurity risks exist when leveraging industrial AI
- 13:09 – What digitalization lessons industry can learn from bees

21 min - How to make medical products that avoid Eroom’s law
Despite life sciences’ developments in science, instrumentation, data generation and compute power, Eroom’s law dictates that the price of developing new medical treatments doubles every nine years.
Since the future of the medical field trends towards personalized healthcare, however, the economies of scale no longer work if each bespoke treatment follows this nine-year trend. To bend Eroom’s law into one that better resembles Moore’s law, life sciences experts need industrial AI and the comprehensive digital twin.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 02:54 – How Eroom’s law dictates product development in the life sciences
- 06:35 – What data strategy challenges exist for personalized healthcare
- 10:25 – How to implement personalized healthcare in the wake of Eroom’s law
- 13:57 – How industrial AI and the comprehensive digital break Eroom’s law

21 min - “Easy digital twin" tech could disrupt the chemical market
When production facilities acquire new reactors, it can often take weeks, even months, to work out the installation and operational kinks. And when they do, the process is typically based on intuition, trial and error or outdated expert experience.
Latticept aims to disrupt this process via easy-to-use, real-time digital twins. With these simulations, production facilities can anticipate all potential issues ensuring equipment works on first use and throughout the asset’s lifecycle.
In this podcast you will learn:
- 00:50 – How digital twins change production facilities
- 07:04 – How few production facilities have the data they need to maintain assets
- 08:44 – Production issue prevention and investigation workflows via digital twins
