Episode 29: The Future of Industrial Operations

Digitalization Tech Talks

In the 29th episode of the Digitalization Tech Talks podcast, we discuss how industrial operations will transform in the future because of not only new technology, but also in large part due to people and how their roles and interactions evolve.

Key topics covered include:

• The role of developing technology on the plant floor. This will include artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI from tools such as ChatGPT.

• The impact of open business platforms that enable better data flows.

• The implementation of these new technologies will only be successful if there is close collaboration between teams from operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT).

• Young technical professionals that will fill the OT and IT roles are shifting how they select their places of employment. There is much more focus on topics such as sustainability and how it factors into the vision of potential employers.

Join our series hosts, Jonas Norinder and Don Mack, as they discuss the future of industrial operations with Dr. Mathias Oppelt, Vice-President for Customer-driven Innovation at Siemens Digital Industries. In that role, Mathias regularly interviews end users in various industries regarding where they want to go with their operations in the future. He then works to bring that vision to reality.
