Standardizing Industrial Data Architecture with ISA-95: Jeroen Janssen - MES/MOM Consultant, Rhize
AI in ManufacturingShow Notes
SA-95 is a standard that’s often misunderstood, but incredibly powerful.
While many think ISA-95 is rigid or overly complex, it actually enables flexibility by:
⇨ 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐲 for manufacturing concepts, creating a true ontology for your data.
⇨ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 for every type of data, so you can start small and add new use cases later without rebuilding everything.
⇨ 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐰𝐡𝐲" 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, not just the "what," giving crucial context to your analytics and AI models.
But how do you move from theory to a practical, modern implementation?
In our latest AI in Manufacturing podcast episode, we explore exactly that with ISA-95 expert Jeroen Janssen, who is an MES/MOM Consultant at Rhize Manufacturing Data Hub.
In the episode, you’ll learn: ✅ How to overcome a data culture that creates so many silos. ✅ The "use case stacking" method for a phased, value-driven implementation. ✅ What a native ISA-95 data hub looks like and how a graph database can bring it to life. ✅ Why this standardized approach is the key to unlo

AI Is Reshaping Industrial Software. Who Wins? | Michael Finocchiaro Will AI simply make established industrial software better, or will it fundamentally change which companies dominate the market? In this episode of AI in Manufacturing, I sit down with Michael Finocchiaro, founder of ThreadMoat Intelligence, to explore how AI is reshaping the competitive landscape of industrial technology, where AI-native startups are challenging established vendors, and what the industrial software market could look like over the next five years. We go beyond the competitive landscape to examine how the underlying technology architecture is evolving, from increasingly composable software and AI-driven orchestration to the changing roles of traditional systems like MES and PLM. In this episode, we explore: Why AI-native startups are challenging established industrial software vendors and where incumbents still have an advantage. How AI is changing traditional industrial software categories, including MES, PLM, and manufacturing data platforms. Why composable architectures and AI agents could fundamentally change how industrial systems are integrated and orchestrated. How manufacturers should think about data ownership, interoperability, and vendor lock-in when evaluating emerging technologies. What the industrial software landscape could look like in five years, including the evolving roles of AI agents, knowledge graphs, and human decision-making. Michael brings a broad perspective from tracking industrial technology startups, interviewing founders, and analyzing emerging trends across engineering and manufacturing software. Whether you're building industrial software, investing in emerging technologies, or shaping your organization's manufacturing technology strategy, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on the shifts already underway and what they could mean for the industry.
