Samotics is pioneering a revolutionary approach to industrial asset monitoring, delivering condition, performance, and energy efficiency insights for hard-to-reach industrial equipment without requiring sensors to be installed on the machines themselves. Founded by Simon Jagers, the company has developed Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) technology that monitors over 10,000 machines by analyzing electrical data captured remotely, enabling companies to prevent unplanned downtime and save 10-20% energy without compromising performance. In this episode of Category Visionaries, Simon shares the fascinating journey from a failed AI-first approach to discovering breakthrough technology that's now being integrated with ABB drive systems to create the data fabric for smart factories of the future. Topics Discussed: The evolution from data-driven AI approach to hardware-enabled sensorless monitoring How railway switch monitoring led to the breakthrough discovery of remote electrical signature analysis Samotics' strategy of targeting hard-to-reach assets in extreme industrial environments The challenge of creating the "sensorless condition monitoring" category in a vibration-dominated market Building a service-heavy go-to-market model in an AI-first technology company Partnership strategy with ABB to integrate ESA technology into drive systems GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Target the "either us or nothing" market segments: Simon's breakthrough came from identifying industrial assets operating in extreme conditions where traditional monitoring was impossible or impractical. ArcelorMittal's conveyor moving steel plates across a 1500°C blast furnace exemplified this perfectly - they had two choices: Samotics' unproven technology or no monitoring at all. B2B founders should actively seek market segments where incumbent solutions physically cannot compete, creating natural "blue ocean" opportunities. Focus on unique positioning rather than universal applicability: Initially, Samotics tried to monitor every type of machine possible, believing their AI could handle any scenario. Simon learned to focus specifically on the 25% of rotating equipment that operates in extreme or hard-to-reach conditions where their remote sensing advantage was undeniable and easy to communicate. B2B founders should resist the temptation to be everything to everyone and instead dominate the specific use cases where their solution provides clear, defensible advantages. Embrace service components even in technology-first companies: Despite starting as an AI company with inclinations to automate everything, Samotics discovered that the human service element - having mechanical and electrical experts bridge AI findings with customer needs - became one of their most appreciated product components. They now deliver hardware, AI, and dashboards as a service with regular customer calls and visits. B2B founders should test whether adding high-touch service elements enhances rather than detracts from their technology value proposition. Build category credibility through scale and proof points: Simon emphasizes that category creation requires time, credible data, and real-world examples at scale. With over 10,000 machines monitored, Samotics can now make credible claims about accuracy and effectiveness. The category definition evolved from internal team alignment to external market education. B2B founders attempting category creation must first achieve meaningful scale and documented success before expecting market adoption of their category framework. Use enemy-based positioning strategically in early stages: Samotics initially positioned aggressively against traditional vibration-based monitoring, using humor and edge to grab attention from early adopters who appreciated the contrarian approach. However, Simon notes this was effective primarily for reaching experienced early adopters who understood the technology's limitations but were drawn to unique solutions. B2B founders should consider enemy-based positioning as a tactical tool for early adoption rather than a long-term brand strategy. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Allâh (c.c.) katında günlerin en faziletlisi, Zilhicce ayının ilk on günüdür. Sâlih amellerin, hiçbir vakitte, bu günler kadar makbul olmaz. Bu on günün büyüklüğündendir ki, Allâhü Teâlâ, Kur'ân-ı Kerîmi'nde: “Velfecri ve leyâlinaşrin…” diye yeminle buyuruyor. Enes bin Mâlik'in (r.a.) bildirdiği hadîs-i şerîfte: “Bu günlerin her biri, fazilette bin güne, Arife günü ise on bin güne eşittir.” Abdülâzim Münzirî Kudsî'nin (r.a.) kitabında.Müfessirlerin şahı Abdullâh bin Abbâs (r.a.)'in Resûlullâh (s.a.v.)'den bildirdiği hadîs-i şerîfte: “Zilhicce ayının ilk on gününden faziletli ve ondaki amellerden sevgili günler yoktur. O halde bu günlerde tehlîli, tekbîri ve Allâhü Teâlâ'nın zikrini çok yapınız. Muhakkak ki, bu on gün içinde tutulan bir oruç, bir senelik oruçla beraberdir (oruca eşittir). Onda bir amele, birden yedi yüz kata kadar amel yazılır” buyurdu. Bu on gün içinde yapılacak en güzel ve faziletli zikir: “Sübhâ-nellâhi velhamdülillâhi ve lâ ilahe illâllâhü vallâhü ekber”dir. İkincisi: “Lâ İlahe İllâllâhü Vahdehu Lâ Şerike Leh Lehül Mülkü Ve Lehül Hamdü Ve Hüve Alâ Külli Şey'in Kadir”dir. Üçüncüsü: tekbîr, yanî; “Allâhü Ekber Allâhü Ekber Lâ İlahe İllâllâhü Vallâhü Ekber, Allâhü Ekber Ve Lillâhil Hamd” dir. Ebû Hureyre ve Abdullâh İbn Ömer (r.a.e.), Zilhicce'nin ilk on günü dışarı çıkar, çarşılarda dolaşırlar ve yüksek sesle tekbîr söylerlerdi. İnsanlar da onlarla beraber tekbîr söylerlerdi. Zilhiccenin on gününe (günahlardan sakınmak ve sâlih ameller işlemek suretiyle) ikrâm ve hürmet edenin ömrüne Allâh (c.c.) bereket verir. Malını artırır. Çoluk çocuğunu korur. Günâhını affeder. Sevâbını kat kat eder. Ölüm hastalığını kolay kalbini nurlu, terazisini ağır eder.(Muhammed Rebhâmi, Riyâd'ün-Nâsihîn, s.270-271)

In this episode, we chat with Wilson Monteiro, Global Business Line Manager for Gearless Mill Drives at ABB who are a leading provider of technologies and solutions for various industries, such as mining in motion, process and robotics. Wilson tells us about ABB, gearless technology, predictive maintenance, automation, digitalisation, and much more around the process and technology space. KEY TAKEAWAYS Wilson has a diverse background in electrical engineering, sales, and management, with extensive experience in automation and artificial intelligence. His career has spanned various roles at ABB and other companies, leading to his current position managing the gearless mill drive business globally. Uptime is critical in the mining industry, not only for profit but also for sustainability. Keeping machinery operational minimises CO2 emissions and maximises the efficiency of existing assets, which is increasingly important as the industry faces pressure to reduce emissions and improve productivity. Gearless mill drives (GMDs) are highlighted as a more energy-efficient solution compared to traditional technologies, offering up to 3.6% energy savings. This efficiency is significant when considering the large number of GMDs in operation globally, contributing to lower carbon footprints in mining operations. The shift towards integrated electrification, automation, and digitalisation is essential for modern mining operations. This integration leads to safer operations, fewer personnel on-site, and improved communication between systems, ultimately enhancing productivity and safety. Predictive maintenance, powered by AI, allows for proactive management of equipment by using real-time data to anticipate issues before they occur. This approach not only extends the life of machinery but also enhances operational efficiency and safety by reducing unexpected breakdowns. BEST MOMENTS "Uptime used to be all about profit. Today, it's about sustainability, too. Even a small hiccup can mean millions in lost production." "GMDs cut out mechanical losses because there is no gearbox or coupling. That alone gives you up to 3.6% energy savings." "It's not cost versus reliability. They go hand in hand. Reliable systems mean fewer unexpected shutdowns, which means fewer people exposed to risk." "Historically, mining has always been an industry slow to adopt change. There's a "Today, I can see some companies moving in a different pattern.

Für den Technologie-Konzern ABB sind die USA der wichtigste Markt. Hat ABB den Zoll-Hammer der USA unterschätzt? Was erwartet der Konzern vom Bundesrat? Und, haben globale Konzerne eine Chance in einer multipolaren Welt? Kritische Fragen an Peter Voser, den Verwaltungsratspräsidenten von ABB. Noch am WEF in Davos im Januar hat sich Peter Voser gelassen geäussert zu den Zoll-Drohungen der USA. Nun ist auch sein Konzern betroffen. Wie geht er damit um? Was heisst es für einen Weltkonzern, wenn sie die Karte der globalen Handelsströme auf einen Schlag so radikal verändert? Was erhofft er sich von einem möglichen Deal der Schweiz mit den USA?
