## Summary

Sudhi Bangalore, Founding Partner & CEO of Full-Bore, and Mike Tomasco, VP of Pfizer Digital, discuss the smart manufacturing mindset, emphasizing that it is a continuous journey driven by data and people rather than a one-time project. They highlight specific strategies such as using cobots for quick wins at Stanley Black & Decker and leveraging the Digital Plant Maturity Model at Pfizer to break down organizational silos. The episode also features insights from Patrick Gaughan of Axiom Manufacturing Systems, Aldo Ferrante of SORBA.ai, and representatives from Microsoft and the OPC Foundation on standards, interoperability, and AI.
