We built what we wished existed. €5M to double down.
Beyond compressed air and electricity, data should be the third resource every factory runs on. Today, it's blocked. We raised €5M to change that.
Downsampling in Industrial IoT: From Dead-Band to Swinging Door Trending
Master Industrial IoT downsampling in minutes: compare lossless compression to lossy tricks like report-by-exception, dead-band filtering and swinging-door trending. Learn how UMH-Core applies them at the edge to slash Unified Namespace bandwidth and historian storage by up to 98 %.
AI In Manufacturing Is A Dumpster Fire
Discover why most factory-floor LLM demos break apart in production - and how a generate → freeze → test workflow instead turns "AI" into reliable, audit-grade pipelines instead of costly surprises.
Pitching IT/OT Integration to Management w/ BCG | EP08 - The Connected Factory podcast
In this episode, host Alex, speaks with Dr. Buchner about the shift toward software-defined automation. They explore the challenges and opportunities in bridging IT and OT, scaling industrial use cases, and the growing importance of open-source and resilient architectures in manufacturing.
Harvesting the Future: How TLT Automation and UMH Enable Scalable Mushroom Picking
From Patented Robotics to Real-Time Dashboards—A Look at How Data-Driven Automation Drives Efficiency in Mushroom Farming
DataOps & Unified Namespace @ GE Appliances | EP07 - The Connected Factory podcast
In this episode Jeremy and Matthew talk about real-time industrial data operations (DataOps) and the shift toward more open, scalable connectivity (e.g., MQTT, Unified Namespace).
What is MQTT? Why Most MQTT Explanations Suck—and Our Attempt to Fix Them
Frustrated by confusing MQTT explanations? This guide clarifies MQTT’s essentials, shows why it’s ideal for IoT telemetry, and reveals its drawbacks for manufacturing—plus how to integrate MQTT with data-center-grade solutions for end-to-end reliability.
Two Major Reasons Why Most Manufacturing Software Fails The People Who Actually Use It
Most manufacturing software looks great in demos but fails on the shop floor -clunky interfaces, missing features, and frustrating workflows. In this 3-part series, we explain why and how UMH takes a different approach with open source, real IT/OT best practices, and a strong focus on user.
