Srikanth Akkiraju, who has run transformation at Philips and now at ServiceNow, doesn't buy it. In a recent fireside conversation with iOPEX, he made the case that the model was never the problem. The problem is that most enterprises haven't decided what they actually want AI to change. Five questions came out of that conversation.

Cloud Asked What It Cost, AI Is Asking What It's Worth | Harness Blog

Why Windshield Replacement Is Becoming an ADAS Calibration Problem, Not Just a Glass One

Roughly 90% of new vehicles sold today ship with driver assistance hardware as standard equipment, and the average model now carries well over a hundred sensor modules. A cracked windshield once meant a quick, mechanical swap. Industry data from CCC Intelligent Solutions shows that calibration's share of repairable windshield appraisals has grown from under 1% in 2017 to more than 23% by 2025, hitting 33% of all direct-repair-program jobs in Q2 2025 alone. On a current vehicle, what looks like a straightforward glass job increasingly turns into an ADAS calibration windshield replacement.

Real-Time Monitoring in Automated Container Cranes: Sensors, Data Pipelines and Fault Detection

Modern container terminals run on uptime. A single crane failure during a vessel call can cascade into berth delays, demurrage charges, and disrupted yard schedules that take days to recover from. The pressure this places on operations and maintenance teams has driven a fundamental shift in how port equipment is monitored - away from periodic inspection cycles and toward continuous, sensor-driven visibility across every system on every machine.
