  • Bridging the gap between factory data and agents

    Bridging the gap between factory data and agents
    Feb 4 2026
    In this episode, we journey from weather woes in Franconia straight into the heart of Amsterdam’s AI innovation, exploring what happens when robotics, world models, and agentic AI collide. We share our firsthand impressions from deep-dive research sessions at Lab42, where startups and researchers are joining forces to push industrial AI forward. You'll hear my conversation with John Harrington of HighByte, who breaks down the role of MCP services and why they’re critical for bridging the gap between factory data and intelligent agents. We don’t just talk tech—we talk about the people, the practical challenges, and the evolving landscape that’s making industrial data accessible to everyone, not just engineers. If you’re curious about how symbolic AI, digital cousins, and scalable architectures are transforming manufacturing, or you want to know what’s next for AI in the Alps, this episode is your front-row seat. Tune in for insights, laughs, and a clear-eyed look at the road ahead for industrial-grade AI.

    In this episode, I dive deep into the future of industrial AI with Andreas de Jonge, exploring how inline AI is reshaping real-world manufacturing. We discuss why tailored, ultra-efficient AI models can outperform bulky, generic solutions—especially in Europe’s highly specialized industries. Andreas shares how his company’s EdgeBrain device brings intelligence directly to the data stream, enabling plug-and-play integration and unprecedented robustness for even the oldest production lines. Together, we unpack the challenges of brownfield integration, the power of synthetic data, and the path to true European digital sovereignty. If you’re curious about the next wave of industrial automation and what it means for productivity, this conversation is not to be missed.

  • After the cucumbers AI - a robot for industrial applications

    After the cucumbers AI - a robot for industrial applications
    Jan 21 2026
    In this episode, we dive into the evolution of AI robotics, exploring how lessons from cucumber-picking robots are now revolutionizing industrial inspection. We sit down with Wouter from VBTI to unpack the journey from complex greenhouse challenges to the development of Adam One—an inspection robot that doesn’t just automate, but truly understands the task at hand. We reflect on the unique technical hurdles, the fusion of multiple AI models, and the potential for scalable, domain-specific foundation models. As always, we bring our authentic curiosity and skepticism to the latest industry trends, from federated learning revivals to the shifting boundaries of edge and cloud AI. Join us for a conversation that connects practical innovation with the big questions shaping industrial AI.
