ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode of U.S. Manufacturing Today (powered by Veryable), host Matt Horine speaks with David A. Craig, founder and CEO of ProdigyIQ Technologies, about closing the gap between AI identifying a problem and manufacturers taking corrective action. Drawing on his Army maintenance background and manufacturing experience, Craig explains why clear ownership, decision-making authority, cross-functional coordination, and verification are essential to turning AI alerts into resolved issues. They discuss leadership visibility and sign-off, along with Craig’s “reversible AI rollout” concept: planning how work continues when AI becomes unavailable or unreliable and verifying operational readiness before restoring it. Craig also outlines a practical 30-day approach to documenting, testing, and improving one AI-assisted workflow and shares the thinking behind his podcast, The Operating Code.
