About this listen

 The Industrial AI Podcast reports weekly on the latest developments in AI and machine learning for the engineering, robotics, automotive, process and automation industries. The podcast features industrial users, scientists, vendors and startups in the field of Industrial AI and machine learning. The podcast is hosted by Peter Seeberg, Industrial AI consultant and Robert Weber, tech journalist.Their mission: Demystify Industrial AI and machine learning, inspire industrial users. The hosts: Peter Seeberg is an Industrial AI and machine learning expert for the manufacturing industry. He worked over 25 years in IT (Intel) and 10 years in Automation. He co-initiated the Industrial Data Intelligence Startup (Softing) where he was responsible for managing machine learning projects in industrial environments. Today he advises companies when it comes to Industrial AI and machine learning. Together with Robert Weber, journalist for industrial topics, he discusses AI and ML applications, standards, and education topics, make or buy decisions as well as regulation for AI in manufacturing.Robert Weber / Peter Seeberg Economics Management Management & Leadership Nature & Ecology Science

  • HM26: Whitelabeled AI and the hope for the API

    HM26: Whitelabeled AI and the hope for the API
    Apr 29 2026
    In this episode, we dive straight into the heart of the industrial AI landscape – beyond flashy headlines and Instagram-worthy trade shows. We tackle the uncomfortable truths behind 'white label' solutions, the real value (or lack thereof) in APIs, and why simply following the hype won't cut it for true innovation. We share our candid impressions from Hannover Messe, exploring the tension between substance and showmanship, and what it means for the future of industrial-grade AI. Plus, we sit down with Dr. Ferri Abolhassan from T-Systems to uncover how Germany's new AI Factory in Munich is aiming to rewrite the rules for secure, sovereign, and scalable AI infrastructure. Join us for honest insights, pointed critiques, and a look at where industrial AI must go next if we want to deliver real value.

  • Causal AI on the shopfloor

    Causal AI on the shopfloor
    Apr 22 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with Bernard, co-founder of Ethon AI, to explore the seismic shift happening as machines move from simply reacting to truly understanding their own processes. We dive into how knowledge graphs, causal AI, and computer vision are transforming manufacturing—from chocolate factories in Switzerland to global giants like Siemens and Bosch. We discuss the real impact of connecting siloed industrial data, the journey from correlation to causation, and what it means for the people on the shop floor. Bernard shares concrete examples of AI-driven quality control, autonomous process optimization, and the evolving role of operators. Join me for a conversation that peeks into the future of manufacturing intelligence—and what it takes to build the digital quality engineers of tomorrow.

  • Data, Memory, Gyms and Models - NEURA's strategy

    Data, Memory, Gyms and Models - NEURA's strategy
    Apr 15 2026
    In this episode, we dig deep into the evolving landscape of industrial AI, from April Fool’s pranks to real advances in robotics and automation. We break down how the line between hype and reality is blurring, and why it’s more challenging than ever to separate fact from fiction in the age of agentic AI. We welcome Jonas Messner from NEURA Robotics to unpack how their 'robot gym' is collecting real-world data, why new forms of memory and multi-modal sensing are critical, and how open platforms are redefining collaboration in physical AI. Join us as we connect industry history, current breakthroughs, and bold visions for the future—where robots learn, adapt, and even monetize their skills in dynamic environments.
