Automation Companion September 2026: Can AI plug the skills gap?
Hi Good Morning [FIRST_NAME], The manufacturing skills gap isn’t a forecast. It is already limiting productivity on the factory floor for leading OEMs. In this issue of Automation Companion, we take an honest look at a problem the industry can’t even agree how to measure, let alone solve. How can AI enable product design? And […]
Cut operational costs with centralized real estate decision-making
Manufacturers run tight, disciplined operations. Real estate (CRE) rarely gets the same treatment — plants, warehouses and distribution sites are still managed one at a time, and it shows up as delayed expansions, capital requests that don’t line up with production timelines and maintenance issues nobody saw coming. Apply the same operational discipline you already […]
How AI at the Edge Can Boost Manufacturing Performance
This playbook explores how manufacturers are deploying AI agents to achieve true autonomy and real-time decision-making on the factory floor. The industrial internet of things promised a manufacturing revolution, but success has been limited — until now. Manufacturers are deploying orchestrated AI agents at the edge under strict data governance frameworks, moving beyond simple automation […]
The Influence of Shielded Cables on Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Dewesoft analyzes the impact of shielded cables in electric and hybrid vehicles during real-drive and test bench evaluations. Their innovative tools measure how shielding affects current, voltage, and energy consumption accuracy, identifying the need for high-frequency data acquisition to minimize deviations.

The Vision AI Center of Excellence Blueprint
A playbook for turning vision AI into an owned, scalable capability. Most manufacturers can get a vision AI pilot running. Far fewer can get the tenth plant running the same solution without rebuilding it from scratch, and cost-per-deployment climbs instead of falling. This blueprint is the operating model for fixing that: how to turn one-off […]

Beyond the Historian: Preparing Manufacturing Data for AI
As more manufacturers pursue digital transformation, many find their modernization efforts held up by legacy data historians. Because these tools weren’t designed to standardize or centralize data across an organization, they can silo critical information and make it hard to correlate. This webinar explores how manufacturers can build an open platform that removes fragmentation and […]
How To Manage Audit-Ready Product Information
Audit readiness reflects how effectively an organization manages its product information. Still, too often companies discover that their most critical product and quality information is scattered across systems or controlled by external partners. This webinar brings together experts from Arena by PTC and QCM to discuss how owning, structuring, and controlling product information delivers real […]
