CC36: Data Handling in Manufacturing | Jeremy Theocharis

In this episode of Simplyblock's Cloud Commute Podcast, Jeremy Theocharis, co-founder and CTO of Unite Manufacturing Hub (UMH), joins us to discuss digital transformation in manufacturing. Jeremy delves into how UMH centralizes factory data, enhancing real-time monitoring and data accessibility with a new data layer for the manufacturing process. He explains the benefits of integrating sensors and controllers, creating a Unified Namespace to improve efficiency and prevent production downtime. Additionally, Jeremy shares insights on UMH's scalable, Kubernetes-based infrastructure, built for self-hosting and data security. Wrapping up, he encourages feedback on UMH’s open-source and community versions, emphasizing the impact of community input in refining the platform for real-world manufacturing needs.

Cloud Commute is your weekly 25-30 minutes podcast, talking about all things cloud, technology, storage, security, Kubernetes, and more.
