Banks are a constant – they loom on urban corners and dot rural towns, providing necessary financial services to their customers. However, they’re also rigid, often resulting in slower adaptation of new technologies.

In today’s world of heightened consumer expectations and the desire for more personalized and automated experiences, that’s no longer an option. Even though physical, brick-and-mortar bank branches are here to stay, it’s time for them to evolve.

On this episode of To the Edge and Beyond, brought to you by Intel, host Sarah Dandashy was joined by a trio of industry experts in Senior Intel Principal Engineer and Chief Technology Officer of RBHE Sanjay Addicam, Chief Digital and Marketing Officer at Karnataka Bank Pankaj Gupta, and Co-founder and CEO of DaveAI Sriram P H to explore how that evolution is taking place.

“There is a shift that is happening away from the role the branches used to play, traditionally,” Gupta said. “The branches are kind of moving toward managing processes, managing collections, [and] managing other regulatory requirements rather than the transactions, themselves.”

From a technology standpoint, Addicam said there’s been a recent explosion in kiosk implementation and use, which is transforming the way in which a typical branch operates.

That’s where solutions like DaveAI, an artificial intelligence-powered sales augmentation platform that “helps brands create a virtual sales avatar to understand their customers,” come in.

“When you have to cover a larger space in terms of number of branches, how can do that much leaner without compromising on the experience?,” Sriram said. “I think that’s where we try and leverage some of these technologies, like intelligent kiosks, to create what we believe is going to be a ‘branch in a box,’ where you can deliver the same experience, digitally, without compromising what really happens in a branch.”

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

At the Connected Worker Manufacturing Summit, 62% of polled attendees ranked training, skills or digital work instructions first. Lincoln International reads the market as moving toward AI-driven execution. That puts more weight on competency data and measurable outcomes like downtime and labor productivity.

  • 01Once skills data decides who gets scheduled on a line or cleared to run a machine, a training-completion checkbox stops being good enough.
  • 0256% of summit respondents point to reduced downtime or better labor productivity as the biggest help today, so connected-worker business cases will likely need to be framed in those plant metrics rather than feature lists.
  • 03A useful vendor question for any connected-worker pitch: which legacy workflow does this replace, and which system of record (ERP, EAM, MES or HCM) owns the skills data afterward?

ODVA's CIP Security spec earns IEC 62443 Security Level 3 certification

ODVA's CIP Security spec earns IEC 62443 Security Level 3 certification

TÜV Rheinland certified ODVA’s CIP Security specification for EtherNet/IP against IEC 62443-4-2 at Security Level Capability 3. ODVA says this can simplify the compliance path for manufacturers and gives engineers a named level to specify. Plant buyers still need to verify which products implement it.

  • 01CIP Security now carries an IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level Capability 3 certificate, giving engineers a named security level to write into EtherNet/IP device specifications.
  • 02The certificate covers the specification, so the useful purchasing question becomes whether a specific drive, valve or I/O block actually implements CIP Security and how its maker documents that.

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia introduced DSX POD, a containerized reference design that standardizes assembly of Vera Rubin AI factory blocks offsite before delivery, aiming to reduce onsite deployment work from six months to roughly two weeks. Partners build, test and cable complete systems in containers; sites still must handle land prep, power generation, water supply and external connectivity in parallel.

  • 01Containerized assembly moves factory-critical tasks like cabling, loop flushing and commissioning offsite, converting unpredictable project work into repeatable products with test records.
  • 02Power enters each core container at 800 volts DC; sites must engineer upstream generation and conversion. Cooling is liquid only; containers handle internal plumbing while sites supply water and heat rejection.
  • 03Deployment time depends on parallel site preparation: land, foundations, power and external connectivity must be ready before container arrival; on-site work is reduced, not eliminated.
