In this episode, we explore why event-driven architecture is becoming essential for Industry 4.0. Instead of moving data through rigid layers and scheduled transfers, modern factories need information to flow the moment something happens. We break down what “events” really are, how they help systems react faster, and why this model fits the messy reality of shop-floor operations better than traditional architectures. We also discuss the practical challenges — legacy systems, uneven data quality, and the patience required to modernize without breaking what already works. It’s a calm, clear look at why this shift matters and how it can make industrial systems more responsive and reliable. For deeper reading and more thoughtful insights, visit iiotblog.com.
