Episode notes

In this episode of the Digitalization Tech Talks podcast, hosts Jonas Norinder and Don Mack unpack a hard truth: industrial AI success is decided long before any model is deployed. Joined by guest Dave Griffith, industrial operations and AI enablement leader and co-host of the Manufacturing Hub podcast, they cut through the hype to explore what actually drives scalable results. The conversation covers early AI use cases, why “AI is the last mile,” and how data orchestration, instrumentation, and integration create the foundation for value. Dave also explains why OT data governance must come before scale and why one high-impact application is the fastest path out of pilot purgatory. Tune in to get practical guidance you can apply immediately and accelerate your journey to becoming AI-ready.
