Plant Improvement Starts with the Data You Already Have
May 8, 2026 · Marc Krüger-Sprengel
InsightsOT & ITYour plant already has the data it needs to maximize OEE and minimize scrap. The bottleneck isn't the hardware, it's the knowledge gap created by disconnected systems. Discover how surfacing joined data in a single view transforms 3-hour outages into 3-minute fixes and unlocks hidden throughput across your entire facility.

Why Every Factory Fails at Scaling AI (And How to Fix It)
March 5, 2026 · Marc Krüger-Sprengel
InsightsArtificial IntelligenceOT & ITScaling70% of manufacturing AI projects die in pilot purgatory because scaling requires rebuilding data pipelines from scratch. Discover how decoupling applications from physical assets with a Context Layer solves the integration trap and finally enables enterprise-wide scale.

InsightsArtificial IntelligenceSecurityAI on the shop floor only creates value when it is grounded in live context and governed by the people who own the process. Without context, AI guesses. Without guardrails, it gets blocked.

The New Stack: Architecture for the Systems You Already Run
October 21, 2025 · Marc Krüger-Sprengel
PlatformArtificial IntelligenceOT & ITMost factories don’t need another data lake or MES - they need architecture that understands how their plants actually run. A live context layer connects assets, processes, and data across legacy systems, creating one operational model that evolves with the work. This is how brownfield manufacturers modernize without rebuilding from scratch.
