This week marks the final episode of Season 5 of Augmented Ops! Natan and Erik look back and share their biggest takeaways from conversations with CEOs, frontline engineers, and operations leaders.

They unpack marketing hype vs. the current state of AI on the shop floor, the rise of citizen developers, and why “digital transformation” needs a serious rebrand.

They also dive deep into the demise of traditional MES, explore the shift toward composable, platform-driven architectures, and offer predictions on how adaptability will define manufacturing success in the year of the “composable operations.”

Augmented Ops is a podcast for industrial leaders, citizen developers, shop floor operators, and anyone else that cares about what the future of frontline operations will look like across industries. This show is presented by Tulip, the Frontline Operations Platform. You can find more from us at Tulip.co/podcast or by following the show on LinkedIn.

This week’s guest is Daniele Iacovelli, SVP, Global Head of Digital, Analytics (AI) & Operational Excellence at Roche.

Although regulated industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing can be slow to digitally transform their manufacturing operations, Daniele lays out how changing trends in the industry have led Roche to architect a new digital production system, with a focus on a composable, future-proof architecture. He also lays out how rapid solution development enabled by new software platforms and a citizen developer approach is enabling people across the company to solve their own problems, while also laying the groundwork for rethinking the traditional software validation approach that dominates regulated industries. Plus, what the role of GenAI should be in a GxP environment, and more.
