The proposed fix is an industrial AI platform that combines common APIs, MLOps, business context, and execution rules.

Volkswagen and BMW are cited as examples of standardizing functions and operations for reuse across multiple plants.

The key shift is to move beyond one-off demos toward an operating model that includes on-site deployment, recovery procedures, and measurable outcomes.
