From agentic workflows to physical AI, we explore what industrial teams must verify, rethink, and keep safe.We also get into learnable simulation, physical AI, robot safety, and the practical business value of industrial AI. The big question isn’t just which models to use—it’s how to make the right decisions under uncertainty.

Jan Tönnissen on agent hubs, AI gateways, the EU AI Act as a catalyst, and why tokens now count as investment.How do you scale AI in a heavily regulated company with more than 100,000 employees? Jan Tönnissen has spent over 18 years at Bayer, most recently leading an IT delivery platform behind MyGenesis. The internal GenAI and agentic platform grew from a few hundred users to 25,000 and more than 60,000 assistants. He also built Bayer’s AI community of 19,000 colleagues.
In this episode, Jan explains why guardrails don’t have to slow people down and can instead pave the way. He also describes how the EU AI Act became a catalyst rather than a hindrance. He walks through Bayer’s Agent Hub, a “telephone book” for every agent in the company, and the AI gateway that gives full transparency over LLM and token consumption.
We also cover:
Real use cases: research literature screening cut from weeks to days, marketing content, and “Friday,” Bayer’s new agentic assistant for every employee The token debate: from maximizing to minimizing use, self-hosted open-weight models, small language models, and counting token costs as CapEx AI-assisted engineering: where it delivers 10x and where it delivers 3x Who owns agents in production, and why ownership has to sit with the business The next wave: physical AI and agents moving closer to the shop floor Three takeaways for midsize machine builders: build a coalition of the willing, choose your first battle carefully, and define your build-vs-buy decision tree up front
And one closing reminder: if you can’t measure it, you can’t steer it.

AI agents, industrial robotics, and the future of engineering software—from factory design to robot commands.We’re seeing an explosion of AI in engineering: models turning drawings into 3D designs, agents helping create plant layouts, and new tools challenging the way engineers work. So where will the value come from next—engineering software, AI platforms, or the context data behind them? I also explore whether agents could leap across the traditional automation pyramid and connect directly with industrial systems.
Then I talk with Bosch’s Thorsten Brach about connecting AI agents to industrial robots using MCP, MHS, and SRCI. We get practical about robot integration, deterministic PLC functions, and why wheeled robots may arrive in factories before legged humanoids. The big question: how do we make these systems easier to use without losing the expertise needed to keep them safe and reliable?

Gonzalo C. and Günther Klambauer on AI’s mathematical breakthroughs—and the human work still ahead.Did OpenAI really solve the Navier–Stokes problem? In this episode, we ask mathematician Gonzalo Caolabora and AI professor Günther Klambauer what the proof means, why it has been difficult to verify, and whether large language models are discovering mathematics or combining ideas from existing research.
We also discuss why AI can excel at problems with verifiable answers, where today’s systems still struggle, and how AI could reshape mathematical research and careers. The big question: as proofs become more automated, what will mathematicians focus on next?

From time-series foundation models to factory-floor assistants, discover where industrial AI is already delivering value for Arburg.We talk with Arburg’s Stefan Lamp and Werner Faulhaber about how AI is changing injection molding—from predicting process stability and quality to helping operators troubleshoot machines. They explain why time-series foundation models matter, where domain expertise makes the difference, and how simulation can shorten the setup of a new process.
We also get into the practical questions: Can agents safely recommend machine settings? What holds back cloud connectivity and predictive maintenance? And how should manufacturers measure AI’s real-world value? A grounded look at what’s working now—and what still needs solving.

We tackle the uncomfortable truths behind 'white label' solutions, the real value (or lack thereof) in APIs, and why simply following the hype won't cut it for true innovation. We share our candid impressions from Hannover Messe, exploring the tension between substance and showmanship, and what it means for the future of industrial-grade AI. Plus, we sit down with Dr. Ferri Abolhassan from T-Systems to uncover how Germany's new AI Factory in Munich is aiming to rewrite the rules for secure, sovereign, and scalable AI infrastructure. Join us for honest insights, pointed critiques, and a look at where industrial AI must go next if we want to deliver real value.

From Swiss chocolate to global factories, discover how AI is turning industrial data into real manufacturing intelligence.In this episode, I sit down with Bernard, co-founder of Ethan AI, to explore the seismic shift happening as machines move from simply reacting to truly understanding their own processes. We dive into how knowledge graphs, causal AI, and computer vision are transforming manufacturing—from chocolate factories in Switzerland to global giants like Siemens and Bosch.
We discuss the real impact of connecting siloed industrial data, the journey from correlation to causation, and what it means for the people on the shop floor. Bernard shares concrete examples of AI-driven quality control, autonomous process optimization, and the evolving role of operators. Join me for a conversation that peeks into the future of manufacturing intelligence—and what it takes to build the digital quality engineers of tomorrow.

Exploring the real impact of GenAI and agents in industrial automation. Are we ready for hands-off production?In this episode, I sit down with Tobias, a robotics and automation expert, to unpack what AI agents and generative AI mean for the future of industrial automation. We explore how combining human expertise with advanced agents can optimize production cycles, break down technological silos, and open new possibilities for greenfield automation projects. From hands-on case studies to the hurdles of legacy systems, we dig into what works today, what doesn’t, and where the next breakthroughs might come from.
I share insights from our own experiments—what happens when you let an AI agent optimize a real automation cell, and why, for now, human know-how still matters. If you’re curious about the practical realities of AI in production lines and what’s hype versus what’s already delivering value, this conversation is for you.
