The Industry Forward Podcast

For decades the energy industry has been plagued by volatility due to the ever-fluctuating price of oil. The result, the Oil and Gas sector clings to stability—even if that consistency means operating 50-year-old analog equipment. But as newer, greener players enter the market, these decades old technologies are no longer competitive. The energy industry is entering an inflection point of digitalization, data centers and artificial intelligence. For Oil and Gas to keep up, it must first implement new data strategies focused on digital maturity. In this podcast you will learn: 01:46 – How the volatility of the Oil and Gas sector affects modernization 05:45 – Why the Energy sector’s digitalization lags other industries 09:41 – How a good data strategy unlocks the future of the Oil and Gas industry Connect with John Nixon on LinkedIn Connect with Thiago Ribeiro on LinkedIn

Much of the sustainability impact of a product is determined as soon as the design phase, yet the data that can inform decisions affecting that impact is often missing so early on. As the number of requirements and complexities increase in today’s products, companies making sustainable products may find themselves designing in the dark. Fortunately, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) can shed some light on the process. In this episode of The Industry Forward Podcast, Eryn Devola, Head of Sustainability for Siemens Digital Industries, and Neil D’Souza, CEO of Makersite, discuss why designing with sustainability in mind should be done as soon as possible and why investing in AI can help make that happen. By informing design decisions today, companies can make better products that enable a greener tomorrow.
