AI and Digital Twins: The Key to Scaling Digital Transformation in Plumbing
Many organizations in industrial sectors, like plumbing, have faced difficulty implementing and scaling their Industry 4.0 projects. One of the primary challenges in succeeding in digital transformation is a lack of focus. Prioritizing the most impactful technologies—namely, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twins—can help plumbing contractors overcome these barriers and see greater results. Capitalizing on any technology starts with recognizing where it can drive value. With that in mind, here’s a closer look at the role of AI and digital twins in plumbing system optimization.

Oracle: AI in Construction: Benefits and Opportunities
Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry. In the back office, AI can help construction firms create plans and designs, schedule projects, manage suppliers, allocate resources, and monitor costs—faster and more effectively than ever before. At the jobsite, it can help keep workers safe and enhance their productivity, for example, using robotic equipment. Explore how AI makes these and other benefits possible and understand why construction firms are increasingly keen on the technology. Oracle
How People Use AI at Work
How are people already using generative AI tools to do their jobs better and faster? For some, the future has already begun—and their efforts offer a road map for those who haven’t yet ventured into this new AI world. Here’s one: “I’m a mechanical engineer who works with advanced mathematical equations to understand how complicated machines move. I have to predict how gears, electrical components and fluids will work together. AI is like having a seasoned engineer working by my side, humble and always helping without judging, even if I ask for more details. I ask two AI models to give me the equations of motion and then I compare them. Even though I could derive these equations myself, AI gives me an expert eye that checks my math as it becomes more complex. …” WSJ
AI Agents Are Everywhere…and Nowhere
Tech vendors like OpenAI and Microsoft are banking on business readiness to use the autonomous AI bots, but companies aren’t so sure. Artificial intelligence agents, the technology that can perform tasks on behalf of humans, are here. But businesses don’t necessarily trust them and haven’t yet started using the technology in a widespread way, according to attendees at The Wall Street Journal’s recent CIO Network Summit.
While 61% of attendees at the summit said they’re experimenting with AI agents, 21% said they’re not using them at all. And their most pressing concern around the technology is a lack of reliability, the poll found. That’s in stark contrast to the vendors selling them, who say it will be too late for businesses to wait for all of the technology’s kinks to be ironed out. Vendors are banking on the fact that enterprises will be ready sooner rather than later to take on new workforces of AI agents that automate away much of the daily toil for their employees. WSJ
