Episodes about Programmable logic controller (PLC)

From Sensor to Dashboard

2026-10-19

Most factory dashboards start at the wrong end: they show a temperature or an OEE number, but nobody can explain where the message came from or whether it can be trusted. This episode is for OT and IT architects, data engineers and manufacturing leaders…

Connect ERP, MES, and IoT — Without Replacing Anything

2026-10-22

When a bottleneck machine stops, ERP, MES and IoT data can all be correct and still not tell the factory what to do next. This episode is for manufacturing IT, OT and data architects who need to connect existing systems without a replacement program. You will…

Digital Twins on Azure

2026-10-18

Many digital twin projects start with a 3D factory scene or every PLC tag and end up with a graph nobody can use. This episode is for manufacturing IT and OT architects building on Azure and explains what deserves a twin, how to model identity, state, events…

A Machine Goes Down. How Should Your Production Plan…

2026-09-15 · Video on YouTube

When a critical machine goes down, ERP may still show capacity that no longer exists while the shop floor improvises. This episode guides production planners, plant managers and IT/OT architects from disruption detection and impact tracing to finite-capacity…

Why AI Can't Optimize a Factory It Doesn't Understand

2026-10-09

A machine stops and ERP, MES, maintenance and the PLC each know part of the story, so AI cannot safely optimize the response. This episode shows manufacturing and data leaders how semantic layers, knowledge graphs, digital twins and clear constraints give AI…

Connectivity Is Not Integration — Why Your Connected…

2026-10-06

A packaging machine stops, every system is connected, and still nobody can say which customer shipment is at risk. This episode is for manufacturing IT/OT architects and data teams who have invested in connectivity but still answer key questions with phone…

What Is an Industrial Data Model

2026-10-08

A factory can collect mountains of data and still struggle to answer what a single machine stop really affects. This episode is for manufacturing, IT/OT and data architects who need ERP, MES, maintenance and quality data to share one meaning. Learn how an…
