Tulip — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 00:30:00 -0500

This week’s guest is John Harrington, co-founder and Chief Product Officer of HighByte.

John shares how his experiences working on Kepware at PTC led him to co-found HighByte, why Industry 4.0 requires a fundamentally different approach to interoperability, and the importance of contextualizing data in manufacturing.

He also breaks down the real value that a Unified Namespace (UNS) approach can bring, whether frameworks like ISA-95 are still relevant, and the age-old OPC vs MQTT debate.
