4.0 Solutions Podcast

Thursday 9/3 at 12:00 PM CDT, Walker Reynolds is going LIVE to bring the Atlas build full circle. In Tuesday’s “Is This What’s Missing?” video, Walker broke down the relationship between the Unified Namespace and knowledge graphs: the UNS as the real-time data backbone, and the knowledge graph as the layer that gives those connections meaning. Tomorrow, he’s opening it up live. Walker will walk through what he built with Flow Software’s Atlas, dig deeper into where knowledge graphs fit in the industrial architecture, and answer your questions. If you’re trying to understand how the UNS, knowledge graphs, and agentic AI fit together, bring your questions. Thursday, September 3 12:00 PM CDT LIVE with Walker Reynolds The UNS gives you the flow of information. Atlas gives you the map of meaning across that flow.

Why do so many manufacturing transformations fail—even after companies invest heavily in consultants, software, automation, and digital technology? Walker Reynolds sits down with John Robinson, founder of The Quorum Principle™, to discuss the deeper problem: manufacturers, vendors, consultants, IT, engineering, and operations are all working in silos. They’ll explore why fragmented transformation models create disconnected systems, slow time-to-value, and trap manufacturers in pilot purgatory—and what needs to change to make transformation actually work. John will also explain The Quorum Principle and why manufacturers need their most critical partners working from one strategy instead of separate agendas.

Walker is joined by Dylan DuFresne and Zack Scriven, as they talk where to start in digital transformation, and why is the vendor and client divide so wide.
