Unlike Silicon Valley, breaking things in manufacturing means safety risks, halted production lines and millions lost. This month, leaders discuss how to accelerate innovation without compromising reality.

Inside, Hitachi’ s leaders reject the“ fail fast” culture, explaining how to engineer safe, deterministic AI for the factory floor. Microsoft’ s Dayan Rodriguez explores how to dynamically unlock capacity without disrupting daily workflows and Jabil’ s Graham Scott proves that managing a US $ 26bn supply chain requires a steady, reliable human touch. Even Sir James Dyson’ s 5,127 failed prototypes were built safely in a shed.

In my opinion you should read this edition slowly – there’ s a lot of good advice!
