What happens when AI meets industrial automation? We discussed exactly that on stage at Hannover Messe 2024.
AI Meets Automation - The Panel#
On Day 2 at Hannover Messe 2024, I had the pleasure to join a panel discussion on “AI meets Automation” together with:
- Robert Weber and Peter Seeberg from the Industrial AI Podcast
- Boris Scharinger (Siemens)
- Fabian Bause (Beckhoff)
We discussed the most pressing questions around AI in the OT world:
- Which AI use cases actually work in automation? — Not every AI application that works in IT translates to the shop floor. We explored what’s real today versus what’s still hype.
- Where is industrial AI heading? — From predictive maintenance to AI-assisted engineering, the trajectory is clear but the path is not always straightforward.
- What new business models does AI enable? — AI doesn’t just optimize existing processes, it can create entirely new value propositions for machine builders and automation companies.
