The Today in Manufacturing Podcast is brought to you by the editors of Manufacturing.net and Industrial Equipment News (IEN).
This week's episode is brought to you by Opswat. AI is moving from pilots into manufacturing operations, helping teams improve productivity, quality and scale. But as more files, devices, suppliers and OT data flows become connected, cyber risk expands in an industry already targeted more than any other. Watch this new on-demand webinar, "Manufacturing Cybersecurity in the Age of AI," to learn how to protect critical operations in the age of AI.
