Episode 124: Industrial Data Interoperability with Erich Barnstedt

Our guest this week is Microsoft’s Erich Barnstedt, Chief Architect Standards, Consortia & Industrial IoT, Azure Edge + Platform. Erich brings his perspective as we try to get to the bottom of why–despite overtures from some of the biggest vendors in the space–we still have not achieved true data interoperability in the manufacturing industry. We explore what really goes on behind the curtain at standards committees, and why it is so important for vendors to embrace an open technology ecosystem that puts interoperability at the forefront. Augmented Ops is a podcast for industrial leaders, shop floor operators, citizen developers, and anyone else that cares about what the future of frontline operations will look like across industries. This show is presented by Tulip, the Frontline Operations Platform. You can find more from us at Tulip.co/podcast or by following the show on LinkedIn.Special Guest: Erich Barnstedt.
