John Rinaldi Reveals the Missing Link to Scalable Industrial AI at the Automate Innovation Stage

PEWAUKEE, Wis., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Real Time Automation (RTA) will exhibit at Automate 2026 in Booth 3723 from June 22-25 at McCormick Place in Chicago, and announces its CEO will cut through the AI hype to address the absolute chaos present on many plant floors—where 73% of manufacturers report that poor data quality prevents actionable insights, and 60% of collected OT data is never analyzed.

While Artificial Intelligence is heralded as the “brain” of the modern factory, most manufacturers are currently inheriting decades of implicit tag naming, inconsistent units, and undocumented context that cause AI models to drift or fail at scale.

To address this, recognized Operational Technology (OT) and cybersecurity expert John Rinaldi, CEO of Real Time Automation (RTA), will present “Beyond the Algorithm: Standardized Manufacturing Data Models as the Foundation for Scalable Industrial AI”.

WHAT: An expert session moving beyond AI buzzwords to address the fundamental missing link in smart manufacturing: standardized data models. Rinaldi will break down the bottleneck of raw, context-free PLC data and demonstrate how metadata, schemas, naming conventions, and standard APIs (OpenAPI/AsyncAPI) work together to eliminate ambiguity and accelerate time-to-insight. Attendees will receive 10 proven recommendations for designing, storing, and governing data models that support scalable AI strategies, deployable across lines, plants, and enterprises.

WHO: John Rinaldi, CEO and Founder of Real Time Automation, an acclaimed speaker, recognized OT and cybersecurity expert, and the author of six industrial automation books covering Industrial Ethernet, OPC UA, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP.

WHEN: Tuesday, June 23rd at 4:30 PM – 5:00 PM (CDT)

WHERE: Automate Innovation Stage: Booth 19046

(Note: A live, no-sales-pitch demo of a modern factory floor historian handling real PLC data will be available at the Real Time Automation booth, Booth 3723, throughout the show).

WHY ATTEND: Engineers no longer struggle to collect data; they struggle to make it useful. Rinaldi will explain the pitfalls of legacy historians (the “Jenga problem”), the subscription pricing trap, and why a modern historian is critical to driving results with AI. Media professionals, plant engineers, and system integrators will walk away with a clear path for transforming inconsistent operational data into structured, contextualized, AI-ready information.

Prometheus Hyperscale Secures Unanimous Conditional Use Permit Approval from Uinta County Commissioners

Key permitting milestone reached for 1.25 GW flagship Wyoming campus

LYMAN, Wyo., June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Prometheus Hyperscale yesterday received unanimous Conditional Use Permit approval from the Uinta County Board of Commissioners for its flagship data center campus near Evanston, Wyoming. The vote represents a significant permitting milestone for the 506-acre site, which is designed for 1.25 GW of initial capacity with a development path to 5 GW.

The approval came after an extensive public engagement process and a formal presentation to the board.

“This unanimous approval reflects the strength of the project’s fundamentals and the depth of community engagement we’ve built in Uinta County,” said Trevor Neilson, President of Prometheus Hyperscale.

Project Highlights

The Evanston campus will operate as a fully islanded microgrid, generating power on-site through high-efficiency natural gas engines and turbines with no draw on the public utility grid, eliminating interconnection queue exposure and ratepayer impact as regulatory risk factors. The facility’s closed-loop liquid cooling architecture requires no draw from local water supplies, with total campus water consumption projected at the equivalent of roughly 15 homes annually.

University of Wyoming Center for Business and Economic Analysis projects a $3.1 billion economic impact through 2032, with $184 million in state tax revenue generated during construction and $53 million annually once operational.

“We’ve been methodical about building the right foundation here, and today’s unanimous vote validates that approach,” said Trenton Thornock, Founder and Senior Advisor of Prometheus Hyperscale. “The site selection, community engagement, technical design, and economic structure were all built to clear the bar in a market where community and regulatory risk is increasingly the differentiating variable. We cleared it unanimously.”

Construction is anticipated to begin within six months of final permitting, with the full 1.25 GW campus expected to be built out in phases over 48 to 60 months.

The Evanston campus is the first of multiple Prometheus Hyperscale sites in development, including Falls Ranch near Casper, Wyoming, designed for up to 1.25 GW in partnership with Casper Carbon Capture, and a Texas project developed alongside ENGIE and Conduit Power near the I-35 corridor.
