In this episode, we revisit a project inside a Brazilian steel mill that showed how powerful — and surprisingly human — real-time manufacturing intelligence can be. It’s a story about connecting data across the plant before “IoT” was even a thing, and how seeing operations come alive on one screen changed the way teams worked. You’ll hear reflections on the early challenges of data streaming, dashboards, and teamwork long before the cloud made it easy. It’s part technical journey, part personal memory — a look at how one project sparked a lasting fascination with real-time visibility, collaboration, and the beauty of making complex systems simple.
