About this listen

 Welcome to the Trend Detection podcast, brought to you by Senseye Predictive Maintenance – which gives you visibility and insights into all your assets, from single machines to full plants to help you reduce downtime, increase knowledge sharing and accelerate digital transformation across your organization.For this episode we are joined by Lina Huertas, Industry Executive for Manufacturing at Microsoft UK.This is what you will learn:How generative AI, copilots, and agent‑based AI are reshaping digital manufacturing—not just accelerating tasks, but redefining entire processes, functions, and roles.What AI agents actually are, how they evolve from simple retrieval assistants to autonomous process owners, and what that means for shop‑floor, engineering, and back‑office work.Why human–AI collaboration is becoming a critical capability, and how jobs are shifting toward supervision, decision‑making, leadership, and strategic thinking rather than repetitive tasks.The key barriers to scaling AI in manufacturing, including data silos, fragmented IT landscapes, shadow IT, organizational structures, and the challenge of moving beyond pilots.What skills manufacturers—and individuals—need next, from learning how to learn and hands‑on AI literacy to leadership, critical thinking, and managing a workforce that includes AI agents.You can find out more about how Senseye Predictive Maintenance can reduce unplanned downtime and contribute towards improved sustainability within your manufacturing plants, by visiting: www.siemens.com/senseye-predictive-maintenance
