   AI Is Making Output Worthless

   AI is making output cheaper, faster and easier. So where does human value go next? In this episode of The Disrupted Factory, I speak with Evan Schwartz about one of the most important shifts happening in business today: the move from output-based thinking to outcome-based thinking. We talked about why AI can produce more documents, more answers, more reports, more emails and more content than ever before, but why more output does not automatically mean more value. Evan also tells us how he mo...

He explores the manufacturing strategy spectrum, from Lean pull systems to MRP-driven push environments, and explains why most plants operate somewhere in the messy middle. The discussion moves beyond theory into the practical trade-offs of just-in-time production, real-world constraints, and the operational friction that derails well-...

The Real Reason Digital Transformation Fails in Manufacturing

Published 25 Feb 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And so they can hand as long as you're trying to funnel scalar time series data in any direction, you'll be fine with the existing integration tools in the OT stack. The problem is, maintenance is almost always driven by non -scalar data. And so I happen to be a huge fan of vibration. That's my particular favorite technology. But there's six big predictive technologies like thermography and oil analysis and motion amplification. And all of them have super complex data structures. And the moment you try to take the data from vibration, or thermography, or motion amplification tensor, and put that into your integration suite for your operational technologies, the thing breaks, because it can only handle scalar time series data. […]
