Closing the loop with Edgification strategies at scale. It's 5G, industrial automation, local control first, and a modern data strategy based on decades of experience with Big Data and IoT.

Why is Foghorn not actively promoting Digital Twins even though they are doing a lot of these things today?

“As long as connectivity is solved, compute power is not the issue."

In this episode of the Beyond Buildings Podcast, we get to talk to the CTO of Industrial Edge player, Foghorn, and their CTO Sastry Malladi from Silicon Valley in California. Foghorn wants to solve real-world problems because they know that they can. And the IT-gods know that this is something the Beyond Buildings Podcast can rally behind!

Sastry has 30 plus years of technology background, is a passionate entrepreneur, been at big companies, small companies, IBM, Oracle, and eBay working with Cloud computing before that was even a term. It’s edge computing all the way and Foghorn is definitely going places. Sastry shares their journey to Digitalization and describes a phenomenal approach to talking to customers and piloting done right.

We will also get some interesting 5G discussions on what the value is all about and how companies should take the chance to leapfrog into the future. Commercial buildings and data center push, legacy in Oil & Gas, moving towards a product-market fit and scalability aspects. That’s what you will hear in this episode and much more like it.
