41- OT Data Integration with Open-Source Projects: Tutorial & Discussion on OPC UA, MQTT, UNS & more

Andreas Vogler's open-source project, "Frankenstein Gateway," is an excellent tool for bridging the gap between IT and OT data. It is a personal project completed in his spare part. This gateway aggregates OT data from various sources, such as PLCs with legacy protocols like Modbus, OPC UA servers, and MQTT brokers, into a single platform. It allows the IT team to access the aggregated data through GraphQL queries, OPC UA, MQTT, and more. Additionally, the gateway enables users to log all data into various databases, including InfluxDB, QuestDB, and others.
This video is a complete tutorial on the Frankenstein Gateway, featuring live demos of five different use cases and real-life architectures. We will also get to know Andreas better, exploring his journey, the lessons learned during the gateway's development as a personal project to learn Kotlin, and his vision on Industry 4.0 topics such as OPC UA, MQTT, UNS, and more.

Every single video on your channel is amazing. But your video views are lower. Because your optimization is very poor. Your optimization needs to improve as soon as possible.
