The Industry Forward Podcast

The energy sector is going green. This, like any previous energy transition, is understood to be inevitable. But what will that future look like? And, more mysteriously, what paths must green process industries take to make alternatives of traditionally petrol-based products? In this podcast, John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software and Thiago Ri...

Industry can not fully abandon crude oil. The number of derivative products made from petroleum are too vast and vital to survival. The food industry relies on fossil-derived fertilizers. Meanwhile, products from textiles to medications rely on ingredients and feedstocks isolated from oil. So, is the concept of industry “going green” even possible? This is the central focus of the latest episode o...

The future of humanoid robots depends on combining AI-driven continuous learning and powerful semiconductor architectures that ensure humanoids can react instantly to the environment around them. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software is joined by Michael Munsey, Vice President of Semicon...

For software-defined vehicles in the streets to AI in manufacturing, the automotive industry is set to undergo significant transformation in the next few years. Yet there are plenty of opportunities for automotive companies to get an early start on that transformation now. The data to drive change already exists across the product lifecycle, but only with digitalization can companies collect and l...

For decades the energy industry has been plagued by volatility due to the ever-fluctuating price of oil. The result, the Oil and Gas sector clings to stability—even if that consistency means operating 50-year-old analog equipment. But as newer, greener players enter the market, these decades old technologies are no longer competitive. The energy industry is entering an inflection point of digitali...

The success of humanoid robots depends on treating them as software-defined systems that are designed to learn, adapt and improve continuously through powerful compute platforms and intelligent software architectures. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Michael Munsey, Vi...

The rise of software-defined vehicles in the automotive industry has opened new ways to access and leverage data gathered by said vehicles. Not only can that data improve the accuracy of a vehicle’s digital twin, but it can also make the digital twin smarter when used to bolster artificial intelligence (AI). The result is a more comprehensive Digital Twin, as well as other applications that enable...

Many companies become complacent when they are leading the market. But history proves the only lesson from inaction is extinction. Thanks to the benefits, and risks, of artificial intelligence (AI), this truth has never been more salient. In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry Software (Siemens) a...

Humanoid robots are quickly transitioning from experimental pilots to scalable industrial solutions; and at the heart of this change is AI and simulation. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined with Rahul Garg, Vice President of Industrial Machinery Software Strategy to discuss...

Vehicles are not the only thing in the automotive industry being altered by digital technology and software. Many of the processes that make such vehicles, in design, production and beyond, are themselves being transformed with the integration of digital technologies and tools. Such tools, such as the comprehensive Digital Twin, can enable automotive companies and their engineers to shift left, or...

In process industries there is no AI for all. Just as the value of employees increase with specialization; AI tools become more valuable through improved expertise in particular areas. So, this begs the question, what roles can AI play in process industries? In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry...

Cars today are incredibly different compared to cars just a few decades ago. Whereas cars were historically mechanically centric products, they are now integrating increasing amounts of electronics and software, to the point that “software-defined vehicles” are becoming the norm. What does this major technological shift mean for the future of the automotive industry? In this episode of The Industr...

Humanoid robots bring humanlike flexibility while not being limited by human anatomy. Additionally, humanoids combine human compatibility with scalable, software-driven intelligence to unlock flexible automation that fits existing environments while enabling new level of efficiency. In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Si...

Process industry data is only useful if it is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. This concept, often truncated to FAIR data, represents how information can feed digital twins, simulations and AI systems that herald the next industrial revolution. In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Indust...

The concept of “shifting left” is critical for the development of sustainable products. The sooner companies have insights into their products’ environmental impact, the more time they have to optimize said products’ sustainability while increasing its chances of success in the market. Such insights, however, can only be gained with the right digital tools and strategies that can leverage data acr...

Data lakes, like oil reservoirs, are filled with vast industrial and economic potential. And much like how we dig for oil, we must wade through data reservoirs to find the hidden AI insights within. Thus, companies without a data strategy have no AI strategy! In today’s episode of the Industry Forward podcast, host John Nixon, Global Vice President of Process Industries at Siemens Digital Industry...

In today’s episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy, Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Rahul Garg, Vice President for Industrial Machinery vertical software strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, to discuss how humanoids represent a powerful new form of flexible automation, particularly for brownfield and human‑centered...

Much of the sustainability impact of a product is determined as soon as the design phase, yet the data that can inform decisions affecting that impact is often missing so early on. As the number of requirements and complexities increase in today’s products, companies making sustainable products may find themselves designing in the dark. Fortunately, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI)...

The new digitalization era of the process industry is burying organizations under a mountain of information. Data, like entropy, is always increasing, but there is no use collecting all these digital records if they drown in obscurity within an abandoned data lake. Industry leaders must learn how to make sense of all this information and transform it into revenue. In today’s episode of the Industr...

Humanoid robots are mobile, software-defined robot designed with a human-like body structure. Their key purpose is to operate in environments built for humans and they may be coming to a factory near you. In today’s  Industry Forward podcast episode host Dale Tutt, Dale Tutt, Global Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by with Rahul Garg, Vice Presi...
