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.
From Patented Robotics to Real-Time Dashboards—A Look at How Data-Driven Automation Drives Efficiency in Mushroom Farming
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).
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.
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.
Encountering DNS resolution problems when installing United Manufacturing Hub (UMH) on Hetzner servers? This tutorial explains why the issue occurs and provides a step-by-step solution to ensure a smooth installation.
Step-by-step guide for connecting TimescaleDB/PostgreSQL to Node-RED. Learn to fix SSL certificate errors, adjust pg_hba.conf, and bypass self-signed certificate issues with a Function node. Covers secure configurations and non-SSL setups in IIoT environments using united-manufacturing-hub.
Yes, we’ve made it possible to bring Node-RED-style simplicity into Benthos pipelines, enabling your chosen LLM to handle tedious manufacturing connectivity and contextualization tasks—whether you’re prototyping or managing production-grade data flows.
Learn how to configure custom DNS servers on your UMH instance to resolve external domain names and prevent connectivity issues. This step-by-step guide covers editing `/etc/resolv.conf`, restarting CoreDNS pods, and customizing the CoreDNS ConfigMap for advanced DNS configurations.
UMH introduces Benthos-based data bridges and automated Helm upgrades, enhancing reliability, maintainability and user experience. Explore how these updates simplify maintenance, optimize data flows, and enable custom data contracts.
We have released SensorConnect as a feature in the free community edition of our Management Console and benthos-umh. This allows you to connect to ifm IO-Link Masters with the Unified Namespace (UNS) and the UMH.
On October 17, 2024, from 5:40 PM to 6:00 PM (German Time), our Management Console was inaccessible to users due to an internal networking issue at our hosting provider, fly.io.
