(Full report available to ARC clients) Applying a System of Systems Philosophy for Sustainability Success https://lnkd.in/gm8ZNwTE The drive to sustainability, decarbonization, and energy transition is creating unique challenges for industrial and critical infrastructure end users. Unlike traditional industrial operations, where the worlds of enterprise and operations were largely separate, the drive to sustainability and energy transition requires unprecedented levels of integration of both enterprise and operations data from a wide variety of disparate systems. Sustainability is changing the requirements for end-user access to data. Sustainability-related initiatives and their related metrics can draw from widely disparate sources of data, including financial, supply chain, operations management, and real-time control data. In the past, data flows in organizations were fairly hierarchical, data from operations was shared with the enterprise for various business functions. Conversely, enterprise-level data was driven down to operations for things like production planning, scheduling, and other functions. Sustainability and energy transition initiatives cannot be supported with this traditional hierarchical structure. The push to sustainability represents the final step toward a holistic environment that can integrate data from any point or system in the organization, regardless of whether it is IT/enterprise or OT-centric. Not surprisingly, sustainability initiatives usually go hand in hand with digital transformation programs. New technologies must be implemented to attain goals of open data access and contextualization, and this requires industrial-grade data fabrics. It’s also important for end users to adopt a systems engineering mindset for sustainability. Having access to data and an appropriate data fabric is important, but this data must also be systematized, with a single pane of glass for visualization, reporting, analytics, the application of AI, digital twins, and other advanced technologies. With a system of systems, the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. System of systems also allows existing systems within the organization to remain autonomous and does not require a significant investment in replacement.

In the Manufacturing, Engineering, Automation, Instrumentation, and Mining industries, addressing DEI+B (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) isn’t just about fairness—it’s about unlocking intentional growth and innovation. I firmly believe, that embracing different perspectives, thinking and experiences regardless of gender, allows any industry to prosper because they invite unusual solutions to the table. 😊 The gender gap in Engineering, Manufacturing, Mining Industries, represents more than a diversity issue; it’s a stark reminder of the opportunities we miss when we fail to tap into the full spectrum of talent and perspectives. 👏 Closing this gap requires more than surface-level efforts. It demands a shift in thinking—challenging outdated mindsets that have long shaped the industry and creating intentional space for opportunity and growth. By developing environments where women are not only welcomed but actively empowered, we can re-imagine what leadership and success look like in these critical sectors. 😉 Key to this transformation is implementing strategies like Reverse Mentoring, where seasoned leaders and emerging talent share knowledge to bridge generational and experiential divides, enriching both parties. At the same time, providing platforms for mentorship, robust career development, and networking opportunities ensures that every voice is heard, valued, and equipped for advancement. 😊 When we align equity with opportunity, dismantle unconscious biases, and adjust our structures to create space for diverse leadership, we open the door to innovation. Together, we can shape industries that are not only inclusive but are also resilient, forward-thinking, and primed for global impact. Creating psychological safety is also an important aspect to invest in, to make sure, that people are supported through these changes👏 I have had the pleasure of interacting with incredible Men AND Women in Industry, doing phenomenal work. So it just makes sense to bring these fantastic minds together to share their wisdom, expertise and experience with the intentional focus of growing together! 😊 As we say in South Africa - "Eendrag maak Mag!" - Unity is strength! #reversementoring #manufacturing #womeninindustry #engineering #deib #inclusion #equity #growth #intention #leadershipdevelopment #choice #ladiesandgentlemenunite #unity #expertise #shareknowledge #compassionateleaderofinfluence Ki Leadership Institute Pty Ltd SAIMC NPC MESA Africa Advisory Council to SAIMC for Computer Engineering | Special Interest Group, MESA Int.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Boris Scharinger, the Senior Innovation Manager and Technology Strategist in the CTO Office at Siemens. In our conversation, Boris discussed his ideas, profile and how Siemens’ 175 years history that has turned great inventions into innovative technologies and the impressive scale of employees and its unwavering focus on #trends and continuous #innovation. We delved into #Industry4.0, #digitaltwins, the concept and practicalities of #metaverseenterprise, and #industrialAI. Boris highlighted the powerful impact of industrial AI Grade and its transformation in business and society: “The digital transformation of industry and AI is a strong tool. When I look into AI today, then AI is actually designed and shaped a lot from the consumer space, from the search engines, and from the social media platforms of this word. And in these environments, you can allow for a certain level rate. Yeah, in many cases 90% is good enough. However, in an industrial production process, I cannot have a robot that works in 90% of the cases. I need to have a robotic solution gripping something, for example, and putting it somewhere on a conveyor belt that really must work for me, 24 by seven must work 99.9%, and for example, it must be able to process a thousand picks per hour. Now these industrial tasks require robust reliability. This is what’s essential for industrial AI. Industrial AI, in a sense, is the application field. It’s the application of AI in industrial use cases, our quality ambition. So, AI meets the tough requirements that you have in industrial processes.“ My Questions: 00:00 - 04:00 Introduction 04:01 - 07:20 Background and career journey of Boris 07:21 - 09:25 Bridging technology and academia 09:26 - 12:09 Innovation in technologies like AI 12:10 - 14:58 Technology as a layer between corporate, government, and academic 14:59 - 21:28 How is Siemens innovating in the field of Industrial AI? 21:29 - 26:42 Digital twin and metaverse enterprise 26:43 - 33:52 Innovating towards a sustainable Generative AI 33:53 - 39:48 Mitigating the threats posed by Generative AI 39:49 - 46:10 How do we address the ethical and compliance concerns that arise from AI? 46:11 - 48:16 Technology for a sustainable future of humanity 48:17 - 49:59 How can we know about Siemens work and innovation? more on my youtube podcast show https://lnkd.in/eDsBT7Pu CC Antonio Vieira Santos Antonio Grasso João António Vaz Luis Almeida Sally Eaves Thomas Power Dr Mark van Rijmenam, CSP Dr. Annette Doms Dr. Martha Boeckenfeld Dr Ritesh Jain Prof. Dr. Ingrid Vasiliu-Feltes Helene Li Dilip Pungliya Sonesh Sira Peyman Khosravani Xiaochen Z.
