• Gartner: Half of new warehouses will be ‘human-optional’ by 2030

  By 2030, Gartner expects robot-centric warehouse facilities driven by AI orchestration will account for half of new builds in developed logistics markets. In these modern builds, human presence is entirely optional. Rising wages and a shrinking pool of available candidates exert heavy pressure on logistics networks for the majority of the calendar year. Compounding this […]

• Wendy OS: Physical AI for the manufacturing edge in minutes

  The open-source Wendy OS aims to scale physical AI across manufacturing edge networks in minutes, not months. Behind the modern factory’s automated guided vehicles and vision sensors, plant managers routinely face configuration delays when connecting local machine intelligence to broader supply chain infrastructure. The process of taking a proof-of-concept AI model and deploying it across […]

• Visual-Language-Action mechanisms in next-gen AI for IIoT

  The newest physical AI systems can inspect their environment, connect what they see to a goal, and adjust behaviour in response. This ability is termed Vision-Language-Action by Capgemini, who expanded on the subject in a recent blog post. VLA links perception and action in an operational loop, the company states. Visual Language Models give AI […]

• Masjesu botnet targets smart factory floors for extortion

  Unpatched industrial IoT devices are exposing smart factory floors to commercial botnet extortion and severe operational downtime. Operational technology environments are wiring millions of smart sensors, connected actuators, and IP cameras into their infrastructure. Building a responsive IIoT requires an army of routing hardware and edge gateways to funnel that telemetry back to central servers. […]

• How digital twins are changing industrial machine operations

  Machines on factory floors are not physical tools. Many are now connected and monitored in real time. The next step goes further: creating digital versions of those machines that can be tested and analysed without affecting the real asset. Digital twins are starting to play a larger role on factory floors. From basic tracking to […]
