The way we communicate, share data and use technology to act on those insights is changing – and it’s all leading to the cloud.

On In the Cloud, every week new experts will engage in a fire side chat and will bring their extensive experience in software, IT and mobile solutions straight to you, offering a glimpse into the future of cloud connectivity around.

Compute and storage are so last decade. The future of the cloud and how organizations use it is AI as its engine. That’s the sentiment of In the Cloud’s guest, Muddu Sudhakar, CEO of Aisera. Aisera offers end-to-end enterprise service automation with conversational AI. Sudhakar sat down with host Hilary Kennedy to share his perspective.

Sudhakar has said he’d never write a check for compute or storage. Rather, he believes the next wave is really about service delivery models and AI.

“It’s an opportunity, not a risk. Automating simpler tasks empowers people to do more and deliver a better work-life balance.” – Muddu Sudhakar

“In the next five years, 70 percent of workloads for the enterprise will be in the cloud,” Sudhakar said. “That’s your cost savings, that’s where you’ll see economies of scale, and that’s where all the growth will happen.”

Sudhakar encourages companies to embrace AI, not for short-term survival but the future. It’s been a gamechanger for customer service. “Automating customer service is possible, and you want to do it with AI,” he added.

While the shift to remote work accelerated the adoption of customer service automation, Sudhakar doesn’t think it will change post-pandemic. He also talked about whether AI was a job killer. “It’s an opportunity, not a risk. Automating simpler tasks empowers people to do more and deliver a better work-life balance.”

Personalization is also a big trend in automated customer service, specifically with chatbots. Chatbots are learning from data and from that know what people like. “They can tailor to your needs and likes. They will only get better at understanding behavior and sentiment,” Sudhakar noted.

Chatbots and digital assistants are changing the way people think about AI, realizing it’s not some unknown, sentient technology. “It’s not the Terminator. It can help people do higher-level things; we just need conditions around it.”

BMW's 1,700 new ABB robots share one controller in Munich and Tiexi

BMW's 1,700 new ABB robots share one controller in Munich and Tiexi

More than 1,700 ABB robots are going into BMW body shops in Munich and Tiexi, China, to weld, glue, rivet and assemble Neue Klasse car bodies, with every unit on ABB’s OmniCore controller. The order spans three models across two related families that share components and a common footprint, which ABB says supports flexible installation and changeouts. ABB’s "up to 20%" controller claim and "up to 30%" robot-family claim use different baselines and shouldn’t be treated as the same number.

  • 01ABB's up to 20% energy figure compares OmniCore with its predecessor controller. The up to 30% figure for the IRB 7710/7720 family already includes that controller regeneration, so the two shouldn't be added together in a business case.
  • 02For plants that move stations between payload classes, a shared footprint and standardized components across robot sizes belong on the spec sheet next to payload and reach.

A 328-study review shows robot arm gains coming from control software and vision

A 328-study review shows robot arm gains coming from control software and vision

A systematic review screened 328 studies on industrial robot arms (2010–2025) and finds that measured gains show up most in planning/control software and perception rather than hardware. This fall, Qualcomm, Cognex and Omron agreed to acquisitions spanning motion planning, 3D sensing and edge compute—so robot cell specifications should scrutinize software, vision and how openly the layers integrate.

  • 01Across 2010–2025 robot-arm research, the review finds quantified improvements concentrated in the software stack—trajectory planning, inverse kinematics and calibration—and in perception (2D/3D vision for localization and recognition), rather than in the gearbox or mechanical design.
  • 02Classical model-based control still fits deterministic cells running one part on one path; learning-based control matters most for mixed parts, cluttered bins and frequent changeovers.
  • 03Before trusting a vendor's success rate, ask which objects, how much clutter, how many trials and what counted as success, because most research results are still validated at lab scale.

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.
