Global – October 29, 2026 -- Plants selecting an industrial data platform for AI should start with a single operational decision, such as whether a reliability engineer must review a compressed-air pressure drop within an hour, rather than with a list of AI features. That decision defines the required sources, history, context, access controls and response time.

Four data sources feed the compressed-air pilot

The example pilot investigates periods when header pressure falls while compressor energy use rises. It needs PLC compressor state and control values, historian pressure, flow and power trends, IoT vibration readings, and maintenance records. None of these sources has to be replaced; the test is whether the evidence can be found, understood, governed and accessed together at the necessary time scale.
