Society is badly in need of automation and robotics. The issue is that suddenly the tidal wave of demand has been met with supply chain and labor shortages. Expert labor that understands the old paradigm, plus the new at the same time pretty much does not exist.
This gap is real.
Caleb Eastman and I have talked quite a bit on this topic of total digitization universality. Otherwise old systems can’t talk to new. We’ve even a new startup HoneyBadger Controls specifically to be a new type of Zapier of Industrial IoT. Zapier by the way, is an amazing piece of technology that Zaps data back and forth between SaaS applications so you don’t have to go ask your dev team to do it. Thanks to Andy Hayes for telling me about Zapier years ago. It basically put my custom integrations business out of business, but saved thousands of dollars in the meantime for customers.
We’re in stealth mode still but basically we just love badgers and see a real need for some better cross-domain connectivity.
