Annual Summit
The Paradigm Shift in Global Manufacturing: From Digital Twin to Direct Customer Value
Context
At VDMA's Annual Summit, Steven argued that industrial AI must move beyond modelling the factory and create measurable value in the work itself. Drawing on his experience as a founding leader of Digital Transformation at Tesla's Gigafactory and as the co-founder of IndustrialMind.ai, he described a shift from data collection and digital twins toward systems that support engineering decisions and execution.
The argument
“The competitive question is no longer who has the most complete digital representation. It is who can turn engineering knowledge into faster, better operating decisions.”
