In this talk, I will review some of my personal experiences made when applying AI planning to industrial problems and review one of the most successful planning applications in the area of elevator control. I also take a quick look at current planners and briefly discuss how they could be made more ready for practical applications, however, this requires efforts in areas that are appreciated by real users, but not so much rewarded by the academic value system.
