THE HUMAN CONNECTION

Shiny AI models and fancy robots have left a lot of manufacturers in pilot purgatory. Technologies have been tested extensively, but many have not yet been ready to scale.
In this edition, it looks like things are ready to change. Parker Burke, President of Fluke Corporation, and Claire Parker, Head of DE & I at JLR, both discuss moving to new systems that are connected and predictive. But both feel that people are at the heart of these changes.
From the luxury houses of the Fashion Pact to the heavy industrial floor, the goal is the same: building a system that is as agile as it is efficient. I hope these pages will help you to do the same. Enjoy the read.
