Creating an open, vendor-independent Industry 4.0 solution with IndustryFusion
summary
Open-source IndustryFusion provides a vendor-independent, on-premise-and-cloud IoT stack (released under Apache-2.0) that actually runs: shop-floor gateways run k3s gateways per site, onboarding happens via GitOps, and data pipelines use Kafka + Flink streaming SQL with MQTT (emqx), NGSI-LD context broker and an alerter. It maps heterogeneous PLC/register values to semantic asset models, supports retrofits, and deploys containerized machine connectors and scripts. Organizers cite 63% seeing digital importance, 11% having a strategy and 0.7% digital revenue today.
