FreeWave ZumEdge Initial Impressions
In this video, Walker Reynolds shares his initial impressions of the ZumEdge demo unit that FreeWave sent to us for testing and review.
ZumEdge is FreeWaveโs newest Edge intelligence product and features I/O connectivity and easy installation and setup. Itโs similar to our ZumLink Rugged 900 Series Ethernet Radio, but with extra features and functionality, and includes the IQ Application Environment.
Without Ethernet or SCADA infrastructure, critical data is often lost in the field, creating inefficiencies and added cost. ZumEdge with an I/O module creates a direct sensor connection allowing you to access data in the field and make decisions quickly.
ZumEdge is ideal for industries that require sensor data capture and measurement in rugged, isolated, and potentially hazardous environments. ZumEdge allows you to automate decision-making and use data infrastructure like MQTT and other third-party platforms to build smarter, faster, and more efficient networks without adding infrastructure or modifying systems.

Why OPC-UA should NOT be the backbone of your IIoT Infrastructure
The podcast debates the limitations of using OPC UA for IIoT infrastructure, advocating for MQTT instead. It discusses scalability issues, verbosity, and the preference for edge-driven solutions. Industry professionals debate the effectiveness of OPC UA versus MQTT, with a shift towards acknowledging MQTT's superiority for digital transformation.

THIS is your IIoT Strategy... And it's going to FAIL
In 2020 alone, Walker Reynolds has consulted with over 2 Dozen Top Fortune 500 Manufacturers in the United States and the problem with prevailing thought is 90% the same. It's one of these two issues:
1. They don't have an IIoT Strategy.
2. They have the same IIoT Strategy... but it won't scale.
In both scenarios, the customer is going to fail in their digital transformation initiative. Because our mission is to save and create middle-class jobs in the United States by helping manufacturers do more with less, we wanted to share why your current strategy (if you have one at all) is going to fail.
We are also going to share with you what works.

In this episode, we interview Andrew Ott a member of the Industry 4.0 Mentorship Program and the Discord Server. We also (attempt) to illustrate the problem with the IT way of thinking when it comes to buying off-the-shelf ERP Systems that are monolithic in nature and are an impedance to the flow of data and decisions within your organization.
