In this episode, we look at how the classic Purdue Model for industrial automation is evolving into an Event‑Driven Architecture (EDA) approach — and what that really means on the plant floor. We discuss how data and control flows once moved layer by layer, but now more often follow asynchronous “events” that trigger actions across systems. We also talk about the challenges: how teams struggle with legacy systems, integration complexity, and aligning OT and IT viewpoints. If you’re involved in industrial connectivity or transformation, this is a grounded conversation about how architectures are shifting — from a rigid stack to a more responsive model.
