    AI-based Predictive Maintenance from the factory floor to the cloud - live from SPS

    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 Cham 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

    Finding the Right Predictive Maintenance Partner - with Kelli Case

    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, Liz McGinn is joined by Kelli Case, a Business Development Director for Senseye at Siemens, who shares practical guidance drawn from her experience working with organizations adopting predictive maintenance.Why choosing a predictive maintenance partner is a strategic, long‑term decision, not just a software purchase—covering culture change, transformation, and sustained value.How to assess your organization’s readiness for predictive maintenance, including maintenance maturity, data access, internal capabilities, and willingness to change.What separates a strong PDM partner from a weak one, such as listening skills, adaptability, domain experience, global support, and the ability to scale with your business.Key technology and architecture considerations to look for, including openness and vendor agnosticism, data ownership, security, configurability vs. customization, and integration across systems.How to avoid common pitfalls and measure success, from unrealistic promises and long time‑to‑value to proving ROI quickly, enabling user adoption, and planning for future evolution toward prescriptive maintenance.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-maintenance

    From Copilots to Agentic AI in Manufacturing — with Lina Huertas

    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/
