In this Automation World podcast, recorded at the IMTS show in Chicago in late summer 2026, we connect with Sergei Altynbaev, founder and CEO of Aiolys, to explore the retrofit vs. replace debate when it comes to automation initiatives. We discuss how this decision is changing as automation matures and mainstreams, and if there are differences between European and American mindsets when it comes to updating or entirely swapping out assets and technologies.
