      IMTS 2026: The Powerful Manufacturing Revolution Reshaping Industry

      Jelena Radojcic · September 29, 2026

      “Skody AI focuses on finite production scheduling for high-mix job shops that recomputes the whole shop when the floor changes.”

      A roundup of the AI, robotics and automation story of IMTS 2026. Skody AI appears in the industrial-AI section: the article describes our focus on finite production scheduling for high-mix job shops that recomputes the whole shop when the floor changes, and sets it alongside its argument that industrial AI is becoming a distinct technology category rather than another application of general-purpose AI.

      Charting the Course Through Schedule Drift

      Beyond the Gantt Chart: How Skody AI Explains Why Orders Are Late

      “Knowing that an order is late is useful. Knowing exactly why — and what to do about it — is far more valuable.”

      A breakdown of what actually consumes a late order's lead time. In the worked example, 115.5 hours of remaining production sat inside 698.6 hours of bottleneck queue and 1,031.1 hours of off-shift time — most of the lateness was waiting, not machining.
