In episode 24 we take on realistic simulations through real-time data exchange. We’re joined by simulation expert Rob Proctor, Field Application Engineer for RTI. Rob’s extensive knowledge of the Training and Simulation space helps us understand the latest trends and challenges in simulated training and testing environments. We’ll also discuss how other industries, such as healthcare and autonomous systems, can benefit from this type of technology.

In episode 23, we continue our discussion of performance benchmarking with Sander Mertens. In part 2 we learn how to find the best optimization tools and which statistics are most important for measuring the performance of your IIoT system. We’ll also dive into Connext DDS Secure with a surprise host.

Stan Schneider is the CEO of RTI and author of the eBook, The Rise of the Robot Overlords: Clarifying the Industrial IoT. Find out what the rise of the robot overlords means and how it will impact the world as we know it. We also discuss the ins and outs of autonomous vehicles and how companies building IIoT systems need to be thinking about security.

In this episode we speak with Sander Mertens, principal applications engineer at RTI. Find out what Sander discovered when he compared performance metrics between RTI Connext DDS and open source DDS implementations. Also, learn how to consider these metrics when scaling your distributed systems.

Tracy Rausch is the co-founder of DocBox, a company developing an advanced clinical process management solution for hospitals. In this episode, Tracy explains how device connectivity can eliminate medical errors and improve clinical workflow. We’ll also discuss why data centricity is similar to the thought process of a physician and what the future of the healthcare industry will bring.

In this episode we interview David Niewolny, market development director at RTI, to talk about how the IoT is impacting the Healthcare industry. We’ll discuss how medical companies can enhance current healthcare practices by implementing connected, real time devices that improve the patient experience, and most importantly, reduce the number of medical errors that occur in hospitals every year.

In this episode we interview Lee Johnson, product manager at RTI, to learn about RTI Labs, a program that provides developers with early access to advanced, IIoT technology. And the best part is, it’s free! We’ll also talk about the newest addition to RTI Labs - Log Parser.

In episode 17, we continue our discussion of autonomous systems with Dan. In Part 2 we learn more about how his early work allowed him to apply his technical background to solve some of the biggest challenges in autonomous vehicles involving safety.

To kick off season two of The Connext Podcast, we interview Daniel Gandhi, Director of Autonomous Vehicles at Nextdroid. In episode 16 find out what it takes to get an autonomous vehicle on the road, how to best combine machine learning with deep learning and AI, and what the technical requirements are for complex autonomous systems.
