    The Evolution of Industrial Data: From Sensors to Strategy - with Vlad Romanov
    Apr 1 2026
    Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.In this episode, we're joined by Vlad Romanov, an industrial automation and data integration specialist with experience spanning plant‑floor engineering, systems integration, and enterprise strategy, who shares a practical view on how industrial data moves from machines to board‑level decisions:What industrial data really is, starting at sensors and control systems on the plant floor and evolving into decision‑ready information used across SCADA, MES, and enterprise systems.How data flows from machines to strategy, explaining the progression from standalone equipment, to production lines, to site‑wide and multi‑site performance insights.Why digitalisation has accelerated in recent years, particularly post‑COVID, as manufacturers needed remote visibility, faster decision‑making, and more resilient operations.The reality of IT/OT integration, including cultural differences, conflicting priorities, and why alignment and over‑communication matter more than technology alone.Where AI and machine learning add value today—and where they don’t yet, highlighting realistic use cases such as analysis support, infrastructure modernisation, and decision assistance rather than full autonomy.What separates successful data initiatives from failed ones, including mindset, patience, iterative improvement, and the willingness to modernise legacy infrastructure step by step.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenanceConnect with Vlad on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladromanov/

  • Reliability in Regulated Plants: 5 Rules That Actually Scale - with Steve Lomax

    Reliability in Regulated Plants: 5 Rules That Actually Scale - with Steve Lomax
    Mar 24 2026
    Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.In this episode, the host is joined by Steve Lomax, an independent reliability and maintenance consultant with decades of experience in highly regulated pharmaceutical environments, who shares a practitioner’s perspective on predictive maintenance, reliability, and digital transformation.What predictive maintenance really means in regulated industries, focusing less on “magic AI” and more on reducing uncertainty, managing risk, and stabilising critical processes.Why reliability must be framed in business language, connecting maintenance decisions to availability, risk, patient impact, and CFO‑level financial outcomes.How global standards and local realities must coexist, with predictive maintenance deployed through a common framework but adapted site‑by‑site based on maturity, assets, and regulation.Why data quality, simplicity, and cultural readiness matter more than more sensors, starting with existing data and building trust in digital records and AI‑supported insights.How to introduce predictive maintenance without overwhelming teams, by focusing on asset criticality, bad actors, cross‑functional ownership, and a clear reliability roadmap.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenanceConnect with Steve on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-lomax-56730912/Learn more about Rheon Insights:https://www.rheoninsight.co.uk/

    AI-based Predictive Maintenance from the factory floor to the cloud - live from SPS
    Mar 11 2026
    Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.In this episode, the host is joined by Tobias, Head of Maintenance and Improvement at Siemens, alongside Pablo and Anya, to share a real‑world predictive maintenance journey from Siemens’ highly automated Calm factory in Bavaria.They explore how unplanned downtime drives lost output, rising costs, and customer impact—and why predictive maintenance starts with shop‑floor visibility, not just software.The conversation walks through how Siemens combined smart hardware, OT modernisation, and AI‑driven analytics to predict failures before they happen, even in a brownfield environment with live production. Using Senseye Predictive Maintenance, maintenance teams gain clear insights, explanations, and recommended actions—helping them focus on critical assets and avoid firefighting.With early results already preventing multiple breakdowns, the episode also looks at how Siemens plans to scale the approach across factories and embed predictive maintenance earlier in the machine lifecycle.A practical, experience‑led look at how predictive maintenance delivers value on the factory floor.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenanceRead the reference in full below:Siemens Cham, Germany - Reduced unplanned downtime with Senseye Predictive Maintenance

  • From Copilots to Agentic AI in Manufacturing — with Lina Huertas

    From Copilots to Agentic AI in Manufacturing — with Lina Huertas
    Feb 25 2026
    Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.In this episode, we’re joined by Lina Huertas, Industry Executive for Manufacturing at Microsoft UK, to explore how generative AI, copilots, and agentic AI are reshaping digital manufacturing — not just speeding up tasks, but changing how work is designed, delivered, and governed.We unpack the difference between copilots (which assist and enhance human work) and AI agents (which can complete tasks end‑to‑end within defined boundaries), and what this shift could mean across the shop floor, engineering, and back office.You’ll learn:How copilots and agentic AI differ — and why that matters for manufacturing workflows and roles.How organisations are thinking about moving from assistance to more end‑to‑end task execution (with human oversight and clear boundaries). Why human–AI collaboration is becoming a core capability, with work shifting toward supervision, decision‑making, leadership, and critical thinking.The key barriers to scaling AI in manufacturing: data silos, fragmented systems, shadow IT, and organisational structure.The skills manufacturers (and individuals) need next: hands‑on AI literacy, “learning how to learn,” and leading in a workforce that increasingly includes AI systems.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenanceConnect with Lina on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/linaahuertas/
