Justin Wilson and Erik Hendriks

Industrial Talk is onsite at OMG, Q1 Meeting and talking to Justin Wilson and Erik Hendriks  about “Data Distribution Service (DDS) the middleware that enables the free flow of data”.

Scott MacKenzie hosts a podcast celebrating industrial professionals and their innovations. At the OMG SQ1 meeting in Reston, Virginia, he interviews Erik Hendriks and Justin Wilson about DDS (Data Distribution System). Erik, a senior architect at ZettaScale, has been involved with DDS for 20 years. Justin, a principal software engineer at Unity Foundation, explains the open-source implementation of DDS. DDS enables efficient data transfer without the need for applications to know the transport details. It supports a publish-subscribe model, ensuring data reliability and scalability. The conversation highlights DDS’s role in modern data-intensive applications and its future focus on scalability, big data, and security.

Madhu Gaganam with Dell Technologies

A quick summary of the points in Industrial Talk’s conversation with Madhu Gaganam at Q1 OMG meeting:
The concept of digital twins has been around for a long time, but it has only recently been gaining traction in the industrial sector.

Digital twins are virtual representations of physical objects or systems that can be used to simulate their behavior and performance.

Digital twins can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
improving operational efficiency
optimizing product design
predicting failures
training operators

The edge is where the data is created, and it is important for digital twins because it allows for real-time decision making.

There are three levels of maturity for digital twins: visualization, digital shadowing, and digital twinning.

In the future, digital twins are likely to become an integral part of the industrial sector.
