Artificial intelligence by contrast requires much more training but is capable of analyzing information and building connections in wholly different ways than humans, allowing for a novel perspective on key data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Dr. James Loach, head of research at Senseye Predictive Maintenance to explore the ways AI can analyze and interpret industrial data, the similarities between text generating LLMs and Senseye\u2019s own time series foundation models. James also delves into what it took to make the time series foundation model a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this episode you will learn:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The similarities between text and time series data (00:36)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenges of building a time series foundation model (05:50)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2024\/01\/1704210845592.jpg\" alt=\"James Loach\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">James Loach<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Head of Research for Senseye Predictive Maintenance <\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jamesloach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with James on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bio-block row\">\n    <div class=\"col-3 order-first bio-pic\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2022\/06\/spencer-acain.jpg\" alt=\"Spencer Acain\" \/>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"col-9 bio-info\">\n        <div class=\"bio-header\">\n            <h4 class=\"speakerintro\">Spencer Acain<\/h4>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-biography\">\n            <p>Technical Writer for Global Marketing at Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/p>        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bio-contact\">\n            <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/spencer-acain-a4267b125\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Connect with Spencer on LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interpreting different types of information is a task humans are inherently good at with just a little guidance and, from&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82958,"featured_media":12707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[374],"tags":[353,373,298,299,385,330],"industry":[],"product":[],"coauthors":[499],"class_list":["post-12706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ai-spectrum","tag-ai","tag-digital-transformation-tag","tag-digital-twin","tag-digitalization","tag-podcast","tag-xcelerator"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2025\/10\/AdobeStock-806403702_medium.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/82958"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12706"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12708,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12706\/revisions\/12708"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12706"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=12706"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=12706"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/podcasts\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=12706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
