Research & Innovation

Research That Actually Means Something

Most industry research is written for people who already agree with the conclusion.

GoSmarter covers academic research, industry studies, and data-backed analysis that is relevant to metals manufacturers. The question is always the same: does this help a production manager make a better decision?

Topics include:

  • AI adoption in manufacturing: what the adoption data shows, not what vendors claim
  • Scrap reduction and yield research: measured outcomes from real facilities
  • Workforce and skills studies: the human side of automation
  • Industry 4.0 implementation research: what separates the pilot projects from the deployments that stick
  • Environmental impact studies: scope 1 and 2 emissions in metals production

Where research findings have direct implications for how GoSmarter builds its tools, that is noted explicitly. Where the evidence is mixed or the sample sizes are small, that is noted too.

Good decisions come from clear data. That is what these posts aim to deliver.

The Historian and AI Webinar (AIFightsBack)

AI for manufacturing has huge potential. As well as clear AI use cases like robotics and automation, the wealth of data being consolidated into industrial time series via historian appliances presents an opportunity for further AI applications. Using the data being consolidated, we can build early warning systems for critical issues, optimise maintenance programs, and improve processes.
