In August 2020, Andrea Hine was a shift supervisor fighting a plant fire with nothing but a handheld radio, describing a live, shifting scene to engineers who could see nothing. That night convinced her frontline workers deserve better.
After leading one of the industry’s largest connected-worker programs (10,000+ devices and $200M in efficiencies), she left a senior corporate career to build open-source physical AI that puts real intelligence where the work actually happens.
In this episode, Andrea explains why most industrial AI still fails the field test — and what it takes to build tools that operators actually use.
