Aron Semle, CTO of HighByte, explains the “Diet Coke problem” — a real example of tribal manufacturing knowledge that often exists only inside the heads of experienced operators and how manufacturers can solve this issue before workers leave for good.
What do factory robots and robot vacuums have in common? According to Aron Semle, CTO of HighByte: they both get stuck. In this clip from an upcoming episode of ASSEMBLY Audible, Semle explains how disconnected factory systems create what he calls the “Roomba problem” — and why standardized industrial data is becoming critical for AI and automation on the plant floor.
