Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building a Knowledge Graph Context Layer for Industrial A: Bob van de Kuilen - Director, Thred
Q: Why are Knowledge Graphs better than hierarchical context for industrial data?
Knowledge Graphs support multiple, rich relationships and visual representations that mirror human cognition, making it easier to capture and explore how data points relate across roles like supply chain, production, and reliability.
Building a Knowledge Graph Context Layer for Industrial A: Bob van de Kuilen - Director, Thred
Q: Can you help us define what context means in an industrial setting?
Context is built through language and relationships between data points; it's not just metadata or a fixed ontology. It grows through conversation, testing, and rapid iteration, allowing different roles to interpret data in their own meaningful way.
Context Engineering Techniques for Building Reliable Industrial AI Agents: Zach Etier - VP of Architecture , Flow Software
Q: What does an AI agent actually mean in an industrial context, and how do you differentiate it from a standard chatbot?
An industrial AI agent is an LLM that can call tools in a loop, acting as an orchestrator that determines the next tool or data source to use. It's domain-specific, with tooling for historian data, MES/ERP integration, and plant floor data, and it relies on structured context management, not just prompts, to reason and act in the real world.
Context Engineering Techniques for Building Reliable Industrial AI Agents: Zach Etier - VP of Architecture , Flow Software
Q: Could you start by introducing yourself to the audience and your current role?
I'm Zach Etier, VP of Architecture at Flow Software. My focus is shaping where the industry is going, identifying stakeholder pain points, and designing scalable, governable solutions, including work around our Timebase historian and the Atlas knowledge modeling tool to build knowledge graphs for industrial data.
Agentic AI Framework for Manufacturing Operations: Gilad Langer - Head of Digital Manufacturing Practice, Tulip Interfaces
Q: How does Tulip enable operationalizing this framework on the shop floor?
Tulip provides a frontline operations platform built for composability; it lets teams create agents and apps without heavy software skills, connect to machines, and govern content to ensure scalable, aligned, and auditable agent-based workflows on the factory floor.
