I accepted, while being transparent from day one that I would continue pursuing white-collar opportunities ... ... best to perform well, even though manual work was not my strongest skill. Eventually, I was contacted by another company for a white-collar role and invited for an interview. I informed HR at the factory

... just read an article from TechCrunch about how Robotics company 1X has struck a deal to send up to 10,000 Neo humanoid robots originally marketed for home use (but they want to focus on factory use in the future, although that was their original intention). This made me think about several things: Historically, robots have always been portrayed as devices that help with production. Factories

... just launched supOS new version, an open-source industrial platform to build and deploy smart factory apps from AI-powered agents to OEE dashboards and full MES workflows. It s built around a Unified Namespace (UNS), MQTT-native, event-driven, and production-ready. Whether you're connecting machines, modeling data, or visualizing operations supOS makes it modular, composable, and fast. No vendor lock-in. No black boxes. Just the tools to own your digital transformation. Used in real factories

... Grafana-ready Dashboards stop calculating, start seeing Event-driven trigger alerts, workflows, or AI decisions in real time No-code flows (Node-RED) integrate machines, APIs, systems with ease Open source + On-prem or Cloud Bring clarity to your factory s data mess https://supos.ai/trial #supOS #UnifiedNamespace #IIoT #OpenSourceIIoT #IndustrialIoT #FactoryDataPlatform #EventDrivenArchitecture #DigitalTransformation #Industry4 #SmartFactory #EdgeDriven #MQTT #NodeRED #FREEZONEX ...

... Special thanks to Mario Gonsales Ishikawa whose Inspiring project( https://lnkd.in/gYqnukAu ) sparked our idea to create this demo! What is Factorio? Factorio

... Tired of rigid industrial architectures and siloed data flows? Meet supOS, your Unified Namespace (UNS) workspace for MQTT-native, real-time data integration. Traditional tiered models are fading. Modern factories need flexibility, openness, and speed. That s where UNS comes in and supOS makes it practical. With supOS, you can: Connect machines, systems, and people through one real-time namespace Enable event-driven workflows without complex middleware Visualize and orchestrate data with no-code tools Deploy on your terms cloud ... ... understand why UNS is the future?
