Industrial Next

Manufacturers aren't ready for what's to come. Physical AGI is revolutionising the factory floor, a bolt, a simulation and an edge case at a time. What we are seeing unfold on production lines is a technical revolution comparable only to that of the Industrial Revolution. In this episode, we talk to Lukas Pankau & Gilwoo Lee of @IndustrialNxtAI, who are reshaping the manufacturing landscape with R2S2R, their new 10,000 sq ft facility and more. IndustrialNext has had a stellar year. From acquiring Zordi, a BMW Group Technology Office partnership and much more. We cover their technology, when physical AGI will be truly achieved, and the steps to get there.
