What was once the story found in science fiction novels has increasingly taken the world by storm. Everything from the ads you see online to advancing car technology is driven by artificial intelligence. In this episode of Infinite IoT, host Mat Ackley spoke with Lumenci CEO Harish Daiya to discuss the evolution of AI industrial deployment and more.

Daiya grew up in India with a passion for math. Eventually, he graduated with an Engineering degree in Computer Science and after several years of early work, moved to the US where he worked in a variety of businesses before co-founding Lumenci.

A serial entrepreneur and blogger with a passion for innovation, 12+ years of experience in technical consulting for IP litigation and licensing, and a recently accepted member of the prestigious Forbes Business Council, Daiya’s expert insights into AI deployment are fascinating for anyone interested in AI regardless of their existing knowledge.

With companies continuously looking for ways to reduce costs and increase profitability, vertical AI solutions provide start-ups with the opportunity “to build these vertical AI companies with a specific business use case in mind,” said Daiya. Vertical AI solutions can be based on Horizontal AI solutions while also being designed to target specific business challenges.

But to begin, Daiya provides a brief history of how AI came to be. “If we look back at the evolution of AI, AI actually evolved in the largest tech companies – Google, Microsoft, IBMs of the world – because they had a lot of data at their disposal and also good resources to use that data for specific use cases and business problems.”

Google Brain is an example of a horizontal, general-purpose AI solution that can be used by any company. And with the horizontal solutions, most of the research has been done so the larger organizations are building on what already exists. And with that, “there is also now room for start-ups to build these vertical AI companies with a specific business use case in mind” and that’s where Lumenci comes into play.

Listen in to learn more about the challenges of AI industrial deployment and how Lumenci helps companies define, develop, and deploy AI solutions for any industry, to address any challenge.

Lockheed Martin and Xaba cite 10x gain in robot drilling accuracy with xCognition

Lockheed Martin and Xaba cite 10x gain in robot drilling accuracy with xCognition

Lockheed Martin and Xaba reported that adding Xaba’s xCognition controller to an industrial robot improved drilling accuracy and consistency by 10x. The claim is tied to a two-phase evaluation that included drilling tests on an aluminum plate with specified positional tolerances. The result points to how robotics augmented with xCognition could take on operations typically kept on more expensive and less flexible CNC machines.

  • 01Lockheed Martin and Xaba reported a 10x accuracy-and-consistency improvement tied to a two-phase test that included drilling on an aluminum plate with specified positional tolerances.
  • 02If the goal is moving selected drilling or light machining off CNC, the first gating item is whether the controller enables path-mode accuracy under tolerance, not whether the robot can detect parts.
  • 03Moruzzi’s observation that most AI research emphasis is still on computer vision is a reminder to separate “perception AI” from “process AI” when writing automation requirements and budgets.

FFRA’s California film recycling pilots run through Nov. 30 to track warehouse wrap recovery

FFRA’s California film recycling pilots run through Nov. 30 to track warehouse wrap recovery

The Flexible Film Recycling Alliance has started two commercial plastic film recycling pilots in California, running July 1 through Nov. 30. The programs test two collection models, one using 1-800-GOT-JUNK? routes and one using Shorr Packaging’s warehouse logistics. For operators, the near-term value is a measurable playbook for separating and aggregating clean polyethylene film at scale.

  • 01FFRA’s premise is that commercial polyethylene film is relatively clean and single-material; the pilots test whether collection and aggregation logistics can capture it at scale.
  • 02The pilots’ biggest enterprise signal is standardization: FFRA is using the same Rack n’ Pack collection setup across regions so results can be compared apples-to-apples.
  • 03With recent U.S. film-recycling capacity disruptions cited by Waste360, end-market certainty and contracted offtake terms will matter as much as collection participation.
