Energizing the Manufacturing Industry with Kubernetes and Cloud Native

Explore a conference talk on leveraging Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Discover the Cloud Native Digital Twin architecture developed by the IndustryFusion Foundation (IFF) for digitizing factory processes and achieving carbon neutrality in metal processing. Learn about the implementation of CNCF certified Kubernetes clusters across machine gateways, factory servers, and cloud deployments, ensuring provider independence. Delve into the declarative Digital Twin architecture based on Semantic Web frameworks, and understand the custom Kubernetes operator developed for monitoring and deploying factory processes as Apache Flink jobs using Streaming SQL. Gain insights into the challenges and solutions encountered when implementing Kubernetes and cloud-native approaches in manufacturing environments, particularly in collaborating with machine builders and factory owners.
