Everyone wants a fully-autonomous, flawlessly optimised factory now, but waiting for absolute perfection leaves you stuck at the starting line. Progress happens in the messy middle bits!

This month, I spoke to Beko’ s CEO Can Dinçer about his journey to the top spot and what he thinks comes next to make practical progress. Also inside, Anindya Chatterjee from ABB warns against waiting for“ perfect data” to adopt machine learning, while TE Connectivity’ s Jim Tobojka tackles scaling that AI globally.

Further on, we take a deep dive into Mars’ s sustainable supply chain strategies and explore the thousands of suppliers behind NASA’ s Artemis II spacecraft.

I think this issue is as close to perfection as they come, though. Enjoy the read!
