Factry Industry Insights #4 | AI-generated Insights | Jeroen Coussement

In this episode of Factry Industry Insights, CEO Jeroen Coussement explores the rise of AI-generated insights in manufacturing and what it takes for factories to become “AI-ready.” The discussion focuses not on hype, but on real prerequisites: structured time-series data, context-rich tagging, and clean historical records.Jeroen highlights how Factry Historian lays the groundwork for meaningful AI use by turning noisy raw data into a consistent, queryable foundation. He also cautions against skipping steps — showing that without a solid historian layer, AI becomes a black box instead of a factory tool.For manufacturers exploring predictive quality, anomaly detection, or decision support, this episode helps separate signal from noise.
