Jabil's rule for factory AI: simplify and standardize the process first

Jabil's rule for factory AI: simplify and standardize the process first

Jabil's John Kraus says factory automation fails unless a process is simplified, optimized and standardized first, which makes skilled engineers a key limit on AI adoption. The same consistency problem shows up in plant data. Jabil connects all of its 30-plus US sites with local schools to build that talent.

  • 01A machine can't absorb process variation the way a veteran operator does, so designing consistency into a process is the first real step of any factory AI project.
  • 02With roughly 40% of core advanced-manufacturing skills changing within five years, adaptability and data literacy belong in engineering job specs next to controls and mechanical knowledge.
  • 03About 85% of growing jobs require a credential, and employer-preferred credentials are ones a manufacturer can rewrite itself, which makes certification design a real lever in school partnerships.

How Siemens, Emerson, IDEC and Weidmuller modernize SCADA

How Siemens, Emerson, IDEC and Weidmuller modernize SCADA

Product leads at Siemens, Emerson, IDEC and Weidmuller outline SCADA retrofit paths that avoid ripping out working controllers—using bridges in the HMI, SCADA software, an edge OS or a data fabric to translate legacy protocols and manage fast data locally. They also flag connector licensing and naming/retention standards as long-term cost drivers. Fort Smith, Arkansas, consolidated five Wonderware SCADA systems into one Ignition platform, paying two-thirds of the upgrade price.

  • 01The edge gateway decides most of what a legacy SCADA retrofit can do: which protocols it translates, how much high-rate data it keeps locally, and what it publishes upward.
  • 02Fort Smith paid two-thirds of the upgrade price to replace five SCADA systems with one, and got a utility where red means the same thing at every plant.
  • 03A sharper question for any SCADA bid: does the ERP and MES link run on open, documented APIs, or on connectors that carry their own license fees?

Lear's Orion seat plant aims to cut conversion costs 10% to 15%

Lear's Orion seat plant aims to cut conversion costs 10% to 15%

An internal team that came out of Lear's purchase of ASI Automation developed the two automated storage systems at Lear's seat plant in Orion, Michigan. The plant will make seats for three General Motors models: the Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

  • 01An internal Lear team built Orion's two storage systems, and Lear expects automation at the plant to cut conversion costs 10% to 15%.
  • 02A blueprint plant still has to be validated at each new site: cycle time, ambient light, dust, workstation layout and maintenance can change how well a copied design performs.
