reshaping the world of manufacturing and industrial markets. Join
Tony and me as we discuss disruptive new trends in the

Episode 3


In this episode, Tony and I look at a the “flywheel” effect, with
simple systems that companies don’t need to think about. Next, he
switches to how 17 year-old Formula 1 drivers grew up in the age
of simulators, using them thousands and thousands of times. Tony
discusses the role of MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations),
and how it may change to “optimization,” which could be a new
machine – or a new capability. And he talks about how AI and ML
have emerged, and we’re starting to see levels of scale and speed
– and also applications that we haven’t thought of before.
