Continue the grid modernization conversation at Red Hat Summit OT automation, industrial safety, predictive MLOps and more… The electric grid is no longer just a feat of physics and copper; it’s becoming a sophisticated data engine. For decades, substation secondary equipment, the relays and controllers that protect the expensive primary equipment, was seen as auxiliary. Today, it is the primary driver of grid innovation: if you can’t compute at the substation, you can’t innovate the grid.But here’s the challenge: modern digital secondary equipment must rely on modern IT or the innov

For years, the industrial sector has operated under the assumption that the core of a factory, the real-time control system, must remain a locked, proprietary environment. We've often accepted these restricted systems as a requirement for the deterministic performance mission-critical machinery demands. However, the existing industrial architecture is proving difficult to maintain as we move toward a modern environment defined by interconnected systems and the need for real-time data.Recent performance testing conducted by Red Hat and Intel provides the evidence needed to challenge the status

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) gave AI a memory. Agents give it a job description. This captures where enterprise AI is today—the first wave focused on helping models say the right thing, but the next wave is about helping systems do the right thing.Generative AI (gen AI) has moved quickly from experimentation with large language models (LLMs) to a race to operationalize AI at enterprise scale. For many organizations, RAG was the first practical step, grounding model outputs in enterprise data and making gen AI usable in real business contexts. But enterprises don't run on answers, the
