Digital innovations and AI are transforming industrial workplaces, paving the way towards autonomous operations. But how do we balance the expectations of the next generation with the needs of existing employees – and give industrial operators practical ways to accelerate digital adoption?  In this episode of Industry Optimized, host Fran Scott speaks to David Lincoln, Digital Lead at ABB’s Measurement & Analytics division. Together they discuss how to upskill today’s workforce to become truly digitally native – confident, capable, and ready to master the tools shaping the future of industry. We also hear from students at Imperial College London on what they expect their future work environment to look like.    Thank you to Dr Colin Hale and Imperial College London for inviting us to the Carbon Capture Pilot Plant and to Baikai (Carleo) Zhu, Leo Fa and Golden (Xiao Xuan) Goh for sharing their insights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
