Most AI projects die in the "Proof of Concept graveyard."
In this Zeroed-in Podcast clip, Olivier, Marvin and Adam from #Microsoft break down why companies fail to scale & how to shift your strategy from "shiny object syndrome" to repeatable ROI.

#AI + #Manufacturing = 🚀 or 📉?
Usually people lead with the "shiny object" instead of the actual problem, but today we're reconciling the #IT vs. #OT culture clash with Adam from #Microsoft.
The TL;DR: Don't lead with AI. Do lead with the problem. Stop creating "AI islands."
Industrial #robots are 10x cheaper than they were 30 years ago and far more precise. So why is automation still hard? In this clip from the #ZeroedInPodcast, Jake Hall, Ryan Kershaw, and Olivier Bloch break down the real challenge holding #manufacturers back.

Your #OT network is basically deep space: quiet, dark, and full of unidentified threats you can’t see yet. So we borrowed a page from the Drake Equation to estimate the “lifeforms” hiding in your system. It might show you’re really not alone after all: https://t.co/JKDLvI1aEJ
Everyone wants “more data,” almost nobody wants to be 1st. David Schultz shares how one early-adopter plant started w/ a small, focused data project and now sits at the top of the KPI board. In OT, the edge goes to the first smart move, not the loudest strategy.🔗Link in comments
“We’re air gapped,” might be the scariest sentence in 2025 in #OT. They don’t need a shutdown command anymore, just poison the data and let the model kill the plant. 💀 In this short, we dispel the air-gap myth and discuss how to keep your #MFG plant secure and #AI ready.
Most teams try to secure the network by adding more tools. More dashboards. More noise. But what if you could see everything, without touching a thing?@Microsoft#DefenderforIoT maps every device, passively. No agents. No downtime. Just packets.

You can’t secure what you don’t know and in most #OT networks, that can be a lot. In the latest episode of the Zeroed-In Podcast, we talk #OTsecurity with Dan Frechette about how Microsoft #DefenderForIoT is the perfect solution for smart manufacturers: https://t.co/Arkken7tQF
Night shift. Fog rolls in. Control room glow. Something’s in the network 🔦 Not ghosts, no something much scarier... blind spots: unmanaged devices, stale firmware, orphaned tools. 👻 Fight back with our 4 step #OTSecurity guide below before its too late👇

Most factories are struggling to evolve because OT and IT still speak different languages. In Ep 6 of the Zeroed-in Podcast, Kudzai Manditereza reveals how #MQTT is quietly bridging the gap to siloed industrial systems into secure, scalable networks that finally talk to the cloud
Point tools can be great for one machine but leadership needs the all-up view: purchasing, demand forecasting, ops. If each lives in a separate app, you’re guessing. Unless you unify the data estate, act real questions in plain English & act with confidence #EnterpriseAI#MFG#AI
