Industrial service teams are facing two compounding pressures
at once: decades of hands-on expertise walking out the door through
retirement, and the equipment itself growing more complex to
diagnose and maintain.
In this episode, Scot Burdette, Global Division CIO at ABB,
unpacks how remote diagnostics and AI-driven insights are reshaping
who does the work of keeping industrial equipment running, in
conversation with host Yolandi de Weerdt. He outlines how leaders
can prioritize the most critical processes first, build the data
discipline needed to support predictive maintenance, and transfer
expertise before it's lost rather than after.
