Over the past year I've been delving into understanding Quantum Computing in an effort to assess the magnitude of its potential to transform the industrial sector. If we look at history, the story of the laser might have the most relevance: a technology looking for solution that became the foundation of innovation in manufacturing, communication, chemistry, and many other disciplines. While there are numerous existing solutions, systems, and processes that will undoubtedly be transformed with just the immense computational power of Quantum, it's much more interesting to ponder what might emerge because of the technology itself. Technologies such as #Majorana1 and its novel approach are a clear indicator that quantum computing is within reach and that we are at the precipice of human advancement like no other time in our history. #quantumcomputing, #industrytransformation, #topoconductor, #microsoft, #industry40, #digitalmanufacturing, #DARPA, #innovation, #incredible

When I first learnt about #digitalthreads in 2013 I knew it had huge potential to solve many challenges that are experienced throughout the product lifecycle. Now in 2025, AI is playing a key role in deriving new value from a digital thread data strategy and implementation. In this discussion with Timo Kistner and Paul Miller, we delve into the current state of digital threads and importantly, we cover the role of AI and how its expanding the number of real-life use cases that can benefit manufacturers of all types. Please register here and I hope you find this to be insightful: https://lnkd.in/grMrNJi6 Microsoft NVIDIA Forrester #DigitalEngineering #DigitalTwin #Manufacturing #AI #Robotics

Much appreciation for Bernard Ibrahim and Rad D. here at #ROKevents. Once again our Dynamics 365 Field Service demonstration is a crowd favorite: showcasing asset integration, work order handling, and technician productivity, with a Copilot that streamlines processes. #microsoft #copilot #fieldservice #dynamics365 #industryadvisory
