Notes on Industrial Intelligence

My own series, published here first. Where value leaks in physical operations, what the data does and does not tell you, and what I am learning building diagnostic tools with UK manufacturers. New pieces roughly every two weeks.

• The Fund Your Decarbonisation Plan Was Built On Has Closed

  The IETF was cancelled in July 2025 and the SME feasibility route closed in December. What is actually left, and why a plan that needs a grant was never a plan.

Industrial AI & Decarbonisation Commentary

Written for the Institution of Engineering and Technology, IDAIC and elsewhere. The thread running through all of it: physical systems are already telling you where value leaks, and most operations aren't set up to listen.

• Why Stop at the Digital Product Passport: Should Industrial Waste Have a Passport of Its Own?

  A case for recording the origin, composition and condition of industrial waste as it moves through recovery, so the data supports prevention rather than just disposal cost and compliance.

• The Most Valuable Thing We Built in Q2 Wasn't Software

  A field reflection on the operational visibility gap inside manufacturers, drawn from a UK thermal component diagnostic engagement.

• The Sustainability Paradox of Industrial AI

  Data centre demand is set to more than double by 2030. Before instrumenting further, the better question is what a plant already knows and which decisions would change if it could see that clearly.

• Cold Chain Intelligence: Perishable Cargo AI

  Why perishable cargo needs condition intelligence rather than just location tracking, and how digital twins and predictive AI close that gap.

  IET EngX · Jun 2026

• Climate Tech, Clean Tech and Deep Tech Explained

  How climate tech, clean tech, green tech, deep tech and the circular economy actually differ, and why treating the labels as questions rather than answers leads to better engineering decisions.
