AI is making headlines across every industry, but how much of it is actually being used on the manufacturing floor?In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad and Dave return to the whiteboard to explore practical and real-world applications of artificial intelligence in manufacturing. From pre-operations to live production, this session covers how AI is being used today across CAD tools, BOM generation, predictive maintenance, system optimization, and machine vision. We also talk through the risks, the limitations, and what still requires human judgment.We begin with design tools and programming before the machine even starts. Then we move through how AI is being used during operations for tasks like work order creation, failure detection, and PLC coding assistance. We explore real use cases for predictive maintenance and ask the tough question: what value are companies actually getting from this technology? Later in the episode we shift into optimization strategies. How can AI help increase throughput or reduce energy costs based on historical data? What does it take to apply these methods in mid-market factories, not just Fortune 100 environments?We also dive into quality inspection and machine vision. These applications are among the most mature in manufacturing today, and we break down examples like barcode inspection, defect detection, and using AI to adapt based on customer complaints. Throughout the episode we share insights from the field and address audience questions about generative AI, simulation tools, and where human expertise still matters most.Referenced in this episode Phoenix Contact case study from Episode 173: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoQjowwDi2M Siemens and Microsoft Copilot initiative Emerson, Bentley Nevada, and GE predictive maintenance platforms University of Tennessee Reliability and Maintainability Center: https://www.rmc.utk.edu UR and Spectral vision systems seen at Automate 2025 Teledyne and Cognex AI-based machine vision tools Cone GAVIN and Siemens Process Simulate Joltek – consulting for manufacturing strategy, automation, and digital transformation: https://www.joltek.com/This is Episode 212 of Manufacturing Hub, your go-to resource for conversations between real practitioners in industrial automation and manufacturing.

Im aktuellen Podcast spricht Sebastian Henßler mit Michael Heinemann, einem der beiden Geschäftsführer von Phoenix Contact e-mobility. Das Unternehmen ist als Zulieferer essenzieller Komponenten für die Ladeinfrastruktur ein entscheidender Akteur der Elektromobilität. Obwohl Phoenix Contact selbst keine Ladesäulen herstellt, sind ihre Produkte in vielen Lösungen verbaut – von Ladeinlets für E-Autos bis hin zu Hochleistungs-Ladesteckverbindern. Gerade im Bereich der gekühlten HPC-Stecker ist Phoenix Contact europäischer Marktführer. „Es braucht sowohl AC- als auch DC-Ladepunkte – überall dort, wo Autos stehen, und leistungsfähige Schnelllader für Langstrecken“, erklärt Heinemann, beim Thema was der Markt gerade benötigt. Der Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur müsse dabei strategisch erfolgen, um sowohl Kurzstrecken- als auch Langstreckenfahrern eine zuverlässige Versorgung zu gewährleisten. Schnellladetechnologien sind dabei ein entscheidender Faktor, denn sie ermöglichen es, innerhalb weniger Minuten eine ausreichende Reichweite nachzuladen. Phoenix Contact arbeitet in diesem Bereich eng mit Fahrzeugherstellern zusammen und entwickelt Lösungen, die sich bereits heute an den Ladeprofilen der kommenden Fahrzeuggenerationen orientieren. Ein weiteres zentrales Thema des Gesprächs war das bidirektionale Laden. Diese Technologie erlaubt es, dass E-Autos nicht nur Energie aus dem Netz beziehen, sondern auch Strom zurückspeisen können. Die technischen Voraussetzungen sind längst vorhanden: „Unsere Ladestecker, Ladecontroller und Leistungselektronikmodule sind alle bidirektional einsetzbar“, betont Heinemann. Doch gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen und wirtschaftliche Anreize fehlen noch. „Die Nutzer müssen einen klaren Vorteil haben, wenn sie ihre Fahrzeugbatterie ins Netz einspeisen.“ Dabei geht es nicht nur um finanzielle Anreize für Endnutzer, sondern auch um eine stabile Netzintegration, die Engpässe im Stromnetz ausgleichen kann. Phoenix Contact denkt über Deutschland hinaus. Besonders in China wächst der Markt für E-Mobilität rasant – mit über 50 Prozent elektrifizierter Neuzulassungen. Das Unternehmen hat sich frühzeitig in China positioniert und beliefert sowohl chinesische als auch deutsche OEMs. Auch Indien bietet großes Potenzial, vor allem, weil sich dort der CCS2-Standard (so in Europa in Verwendung) durchsetzt. Neben der technologischen Entwicklung setzt das Unternehmen auch auf nachhaltige Konzepte. Ein Beispiel ist die firmeneigene Ladeinfrastruktur an den Standorten, die nicht nur als Testumgebung für neue Produkte dient, sondern auch eine praktische Anwendung der eigenen Technologien ermöglicht. Diese praxisnahe Herangehensweise sorgt dafür, dass Innovationen unter realen Bedingungen optimiert werden können. Das Gespräch zeigt: Ladeinfrastruktur ist weit mehr als nur Ladesäulen aufstellen. Es geht um strategische Technologieentscheidungen, globale Marktanpassungen und nachhaltige Energiekonzepte. Nun aber genug der Vorworte – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch einsteigen.

In dieser Folge von BYTES 'N' BATTERIES dreht sich alles um die All Electric Society – eine Zukunft, in der Energie, Mobilität und Infrastruktur nahtlos miteinander verknüpft sind.

One area that continues to redefine possibilities in technology is IoT disruption. With an estimated 30 billion IoT devices expected to be in use by 2025, the stakes are high, and the potential for transformation is immense. However, with this surge in IoT adoption, there's a growing concern about the successful implementation of these technologies, with studies suggesting that up to 75% of IoT projects fail. So, how can businesses navigate this complex terrain and harness the power of IoT effectively? Who are the disrupters willing to go beyond the norm?Phoenix Contact, an electrical engineering and automation solutions provider, is one company leading in IoT disruption. Phoenix Contact received the 2023 Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence (GAEE) for its innovative rooftop solar project. The award, presented by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, recognizes the company's 961-kilowatt solar array that caters to about 30% of the energy needs at its U.S. headquarters. And it is that blend of providing solutions with sustainability in mind that disrupts the industry and creates positive new trends.In the latest episode of DisruptED, host Ron J Stefanski engaged with Dave Eifert, Senior Business Development Manager at Phoenix Contact USA, to talk about the challenges and opportunities inherent in the world of IoT, with a focus on the industrial application of these technologies.Key points from the episode include:• The importance of starting small with IoT projects, focusing on well-defined processes or issues, and using IoT as a toolbox to solve specific business problems• The potential of IoT data to provide unexpected insights and benefits when viewed from different perspectives, highlighting the importance of data sharing• The critical role of sustainability in the context of IoT, with a focus on the need for cross-functional, open, shared data sourcesDave Eifert, an engineering and management graduate, has spent his entire career in tech.

In today's episode – the thirty-second in our series – MediaGroup founding partner Bart Burggraaf speaks to Mark Ong, corporate marketing director at Phoenix Contact.Mark brings the insights he has gleaned from a 16-year marketing career working on many niche, technical and international campaigns.  This episode focuses on a revenue-driven approach – a strategy focusing on measurable sales outputs to maximise value-add and reportability.Working in niche markets in the B2B segment across companies including Honeywell, A4 Tech and most recently, Phoenix Contact, Mark highlights the importance of a revenue-driven marketing strategy.  As part of the general trend towards ‘digital first', focusing on a close relationship with sales and performance measurement allows marketers to show their utility and protect from the trap of being seen as a cost centre.Trade shows are a key part of the marketing journey in niche markets and for technical products.  Interestingly, Mark noticed an improvement in trade show engagement during the COVID lockdown, as virtual reality and easier tracking of attendants improved engagement with marketing.  Mark discusses avoiding common trade show mistakes, such as speaking to the same sales staff.Throughout, the importance of measurement is stressed again and again.  If you can't measure performance and link it to marketing spending, it is hard to justify the department's role.  As Mark says, 'if it isn't on Salesforce, it didn't happen.' Memorable Marketing by MediaGroup is a series of interview podcasts with leading senior marketers, holding free-ranging conversations on their careers, outlook and interests.
