From Patented Robotics to Real-Time Dashboards—A Look at How Data-Driven Automation Drives Efficiency in Mushroom Farming

In this episode Jeremy and Matthew talk about real-time industrial data operations (DataOps) and the shift toward more open, scalable connectivity (e.g., MQTT, Unified Namespace).

A single IoT platform can tackle specific use cases but struggles with large-scale data. A Unified Namespace excels at flexible distribution yet needs extra tools. The key is striking the right balance and leveraging each where it shines

Frustrated by confusing MQTT explanations? This guide clarifies MQTT’s essentials, shows why it’s ideal for IoT telemetry, and reveals its drawbacks for manufacturing—plus how to integrate MQTT with data-center-grade solutions for end-to-end reliability.

IT/OT integration is hard, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode, we talk with system integrators Brian Pribe and Trent Christopher about open-source solutions, Unified Namespace, and practical ways manufacturers can get started. Plus, a sneak peek into their presentation at ProveIt Conference!

Most manufacturing software looks great in demos but fails on the shop floor -clunky interfaces, missing features, and frustrating workflows. In this 3-part series, we explain why and how UMH takes a different approach with open source, real IT/OT best practices, and a strong focus on user.
