  Kevin Jones from dataPARC on Historians, Industrial Data, Context and a Piece of Black Paper

  May 12, 202636 minS0

  <p>(Our topic. Our tone. Sponsored by dataPARC *)</p><p>Back to our regular schedule, finally. Hannover Messe is in the rear-view mirror, the noise is fading, and we’re easing into one podcast a week again.

  100 and Counting: Looking Back, Looking Forward

  Mar 30, 202635 minS0

  <p>Three years ago, over a glass of wine during summer break, we decided to start writing. No business plan, no editorial calendar — just a shared frustration that the conversation around IT and OT in manufacturing was either too technical or too abstract. We wanted something in between. Something practical, honest, and maybe a little opinionated.</p><p>This week, we are publishing our hundredth piece of content. </p><p>Some are articles, some are podcasts (like this one). Every single one started with the same question: does this actually help someone working at the intersection of IT and OT?</p>...
