AI

Most leadership teams spend their days improving today’s output and planning the next round of investments. Necessary priorities, yet increasingly insufficient. The real competitive battle is shifting somewhere far less visible: toward the factories that are quietly learning every single day and those that are not.

The manufacturing floor is undergoing a digital revolution, and at the forefront of this change is the emergence of AI Copilots.

The shop floor is a very complex environment, involving  a whole range of different actors with different perspectives and knowledge domains. One of the biggest hurdles for achieving results lies in bridging the gap between business and production requirements and the ability to deconstruct them into software requirements.

Imagine asking your manufacturing data a question the same way you would ask a colleague: “What happened during the night shift that I need to know about?”

Ever since we showcased the potential of AI agents and MCP servers within MES and Data Platform contexts at the MES & Industry 4.0 Summit 2025, things have taken off fast. Everyone’s excited. Rightfully so.
