May 22, 2026 - Industrial AI Weekly
Hi there,

Welcome to this week's edition of Industrial AI Weekly.

On May 20, 2026, Veltris introduced VeltrisOne, an AI platform designed to enhance workflows in micro-industries such as healthcare and technology. This platform aims to assist companies in deploying and scaling AI solutions that are specifically tailored to their unique needs. In another development, a study by GEP and UVA Darden reveals that only 5% of supply chain AI initiatives manage to scale beyond the experimental phase. The study highlights that companies with successful scaling have implemented formal governance and structured management.

Novity, a predictive maintenance platform, has received a strategic investment from Acario Innovation, which is part of Tokyo Gas. This investment is set to expand Novity's AI-driven TruPrognostics platform, enhancing fault detection in industrial equipment. Additionally, Novity has partnered with Chiyoda Corporation to integrate its TruPrognostics AI with Chiyoda's plantOS, aiming to improve predictive maintenance and equipment reliability in industrial sectors. Meanwhile, recycling companies Sortera and Amp are leveraging AI technology to boost aluminum recycling efficiency, with Sortera launching a new facility in Tennessee and Amp utilizing AI sorting systems to enhance material recovery.
