Your plant's best diagnostic tool may be retiring. And it's not a machine.

When a veteran technician leaves, years of practical knowledge can leave with them.

Here's how industrial AI could help.

One veteran said he did not need the tool, then added that it brings others to his level.

That is the point. @ifs is not replacing the expert, it is making the expert the standard.

What retires faster at your sites, the asset or the knowledge?

Speed is the part leaders miss.

→ William Grant and Sons: live in twelve weeks at one of the world’s largest Scotch distilleries
→ Another engineering group: in technicians’ hands two weeks after ordering

The technician still decides. The knowledge stays in the building.

Which AI decisions in your factory need to happen closest to the machines?

T-Mobile for Business Partner

[Ronald van Loon @Ronald_vanLoon]

A factory robot spots a defect. Should its next decision wait for the cloud?

At Gartner IT® Symposium/Xpo™ 2026 in Orlando, I explored a question Trey King raised at the @TMobileBusiness Innovation Hub: where should factory AI make its decisions?

Start with what a delayed response would cost.

T-Mobile for Business Partner

[Ronald van Loon @Ronald_vanLoon]

A practical framework for factory AI:

→ Device for immediate physical control
→ Edge to coordinate operations continuously
→ Cloud for enterprise-wide learning and analysis

These are starting points, not fixed rules. Match compute location to the impact of delay.
