In this episode, we dive into the evolution of industrial data infrastructure with Jeroen Coussement, Founder and CEO of Factry. Factry is building modern historian and MES software platforms that help manufacturers collect, contextualize, and act on operational data at scale.\nWe unpack the critical role of historians in modern manufacturing environments. While traditional historians focused on archiving time-series data, today’s requirements go far beyond that. Jeroen outlines how a modern historian must fulfill three foundational roles:\nEfficient high-volume time-series data acquisition\nContextual modeling across complex factory assets\nDemocratized access and self-service tools for operations teams\nThis episode covers:\nThe differences between SCADA, MES, and historians\nThe evolution from legacy platforms like OSIsoft PI to cloud-native historians\nArchitectures for on-prem, cloud, and hybrid historian deployments\nReal-world use cases like wind turbine optimization for shadow flicker mitigation\nCommon challenges in digital transformation, including network modernization and change management\nHow manufacturers can scale from data collection to full analytics enablement\nJeroen also shares why point solutions often lead to fragmentation, and how building a robust data foundation opens the door to advanced tools like AI, unified namespace, and better decision-making.\n📍 Guest: Jeroen Coussement, Founder and CEO at Factry\n🌐 https://www.factry.io\n📚 Resources Mentioned:\nFactry Historian: https://www.factry.io/products/factry-historian\nIT/OT Insider: https://insider.itot.io\nCanary Historian: https://www.canarylabs.com/\nAVEVA PI System: https://www.aveva.com/en/solutions/pi-system/\nGE Proficy Historian: https://www.ge.com/digital/applications/historian\nJoltek Consulting: https://www.joltek.com/\n⏱️ YouTube Timestamps\n00:00 Intro and welcome\n02:00 Jeroen’s journey from bioscience engineer to founder of Factry\n05:00 What is an...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yoKAvzBXZ3YjQTekFk7KFGXeuwJ29WgXvop3dVEfhLs/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE3MjEzLzE2MDk0/MzA1OTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
