    EP40: Capturing Expert Knowledge with Causal AI—Ron Norris on the Future of RCA

    What if your best employee could train an AI system, so no knowledge is lost when they retire? In this episode of Reliability 4.0, we sit down with Ron Norris, former Director of Innovation at Georgia-Pacific and now founder of Advanced Innovation Management (AIM), to unpack how he used causal AI to capture decades of expert knowledge and improve operational decision-making across supply chain, procurement, and more. We dig into: 🔸 What causal AI is, and why it’s different from traditional AI 🔸 How it helped increase touchless order processing from “a single digit to 90%” 🔸 Why knowledge + data > data alone 🔸 How to use AI for hypothesis testing and explainable decisions 🔸 What this means for the next generation of RCA and reliability tools If you’re facing a wave of retirements, struggling with knowledge transfer, or curious about the role of AI in root cause analysis, this episode will spark new ideas.

    EP37: Mining Meets AI with Michael Zolotov from Razor Labs

    What happens when AI gets trained like a doctor—only for your mining equipment? In this episode of Reliability 4.0 , we sit down with Michael Zolotov, Co-Founder and CTO of Razor Labs, to explore how his team is using AI sensor fusion to detect failures weeks before traditional systems sound the alarm. Michael shares how they built an “automated doctor” for fixed and mobile assets, and how it’s already helping clients like Glencore save millions. We dig into: 🔸 Why most legacy AI models fail in mining—and what to do instead 🔸 How Razor Labs reduced failure detection time by 3–5 weeks 🔸 The two ROI stories that win over execs: less downtime, lower maintenance cost 🔸 How their platform integrates with SCADA, SAP, oil analysis & more 🔸 Where RCA software fits in for long-term strategy If you're curious about how AI can solve real equipment issues—not just produce pretty dashboards—this episode delivers. This episode is available on: 📺 YouTube 🎧 Apple Music Or wherever you get your podcasts! Want to explore how AI and RCA can work hand-in-hand to solve your toughest reliability challenges?
