Edge-AI and robotics technologies are now mainstream in industrial software. But the approach to building them has not changed since its early niche days. Surveys show industrial AI and robotics solutions carry up to 35% of non-IP software, increasing software costs and time to market.

Demand for industrial automation is growing, so the industry must address the challenge of time to market and costs. The previous method of a build-it-all approach is no longer a scalable path. To attain mainstream solution adoption, we must rethink the approach to software development that reduces costs, increases reuse, and frees engineers to focus on customer needs.

The industry needs to identify areas of the software stack that are common and non-IP and transition those to a collaborative approach where capabilities are shared. The speaker will share several use cases where organizations using a collaborative approach got products to market faster. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into navigating these challenges through a collaborative development approach.
