The banking industry has always been one of reinvention. It’s an old industry, but not one slow to evolve. As banking meets a new chapter post-COVID where digital channels are outperforming traditional ones, the industry will meet new challenges and pain points. Dr. Seong Boon “SB” Ngoo, Global Banking General Manager for Intel’s Internet of Things, provided an update on the future. 

“The banking industry is familiar with disruption. However, it is one of the first to innovate in technology transitions,” Ngoo said. Financial institutions, hit hard by the 2008 economic crisis, had to reinvent their playbook. The pandemic is different. It’s a global health crisis with a significant financial impact. 

Ngoo spoke about the areas where banking is making strides with technology. “There are more digital channels for onboarding customers, mortgage approvals, and other activities. These are meeting the new expectations of customers. Banks are adjusting sales models and leveraging data, AI, and IoT to improve processes and delivery.” 

How exactly is banking using these innovative technologies? Ngoo shared, “AI is in use in banking from digital signage that can personalize messaging to smart ATMs. In branch usage of cameras can analyze flow and queues and provide recommendations for staffing.” 

The branch banking experience is evolving as more customers have shifted to digital channels. “We want to make branch technology easy to deploy and useful. It’s not enough for banks to replace a few things. They need to rethink their business architecture, how they meet customer demand, and comply with regulations in every medium,” Ngoo commented.

Arch Systems brings full factory AI to FedRAMP High via Knox

Arch Systems brings full factory AI to FedRAMP High via Knox

Arch Systems' factory AI platform, including its Data Foundation and AI agents, can now run inside Knox Systems' FedRAMP High cloud for defense manufacturers. Controlled data can flow in. Arch previously served defense plants only at the edge, so buyers now need to vet Knox's shared-responsibility terms and how new AI agents enter the authorized boundary.

  • 01Arch has worked in defense plants for years, but only at the edge; the Knox deal opens the layer that ties machine data to MES and ERP records, and lets controlled data flow into it.
  • 02Knox’s FedRAMP High (Class D) boundary lets Arch run without its own standalone authorization, and Knox’s marketplace listing says hosted apps inherit a substantial portion of required security controls.
  • 03Before signing, ask how Knox's Shared Responsibility Matrix maps to a manufacturer rather than an agency, and how new AI agents get added inside a continuously monitored boundary.

Rockwell’s PanelView Pro targets HMI upgrades that keep FactoryTalk View ME apps

Rockwell’s PanelView Pro targets HMI upgrades that keep FactoryTalk View ME apps

Rockwell Automation's PanelView Pro, with availability beginning in the fourth quarter of calendar 2026, runs existing FactoryTalk View ME applications and shares cutouts with PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals. For those sites, the HMI upgrade starts to look like a hardware swap. Separate display and logic modules also change how plants stock spares, and more configurations follow through 2027.

  • 01For a plant on PanelView Plus 7 Performance terminals, the pitch is that the panel cutout stays, the FactoryTalk View ME application stays, and future repairs happen one module at a time.
  • 02Plant standards for the new terminal are worth writing around what ships in Q4 2026, since additional modules and configurations keep arriving through 2027.
  • 03The easy migration path is a path to staying on Rockwell's FactoryTalk platform; plants already planning to leave FactoryTalk View ME won't see the reuse savings.

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.
