Ep. 274 - David Schultz on ISA 95, Knowledge Graphs, and Building a Data Model for AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is no pyramid anywhere in the ISA 95 standard. David Schultz explains what is actually inside it and how to turn it into a working data model. Most engineers meet ISA 95 as a layered triangle on LinkedIn and never get past it. David Schultz of Amárach StackWorks takes that image apart. The pyramid appears nowhere in the standard, which exists to define how business systems such as ERP exchange information with manufacturing and control systems. Eight parts are published today, Part 1 refre
Ep. 273 - How to Build a Systems Integration Company: Positioning, Money and Procurement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most conversations about starting a systems integrator skip the parts that sink people. Dave and Vlad spend this one on insurance, licenses and procurement. After a month of founder interviews, Dave and Vlad close the series with their own experience. Vlad started at plant level with Procter and Gamble and Kraft Heinz, deciding how outside integrators would execute, before crossing over to work for an integrator across food and beverage and CPG packaging. Dave came from aviation and aerospace th
Ep. 272 - Systems Integration Careers: OEM, Distributor, Machine Builder and Business Owner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people ask how to start a systems integrator. Rich Kuechenmeister has effectively built one five times, and the lesson is that the parent business decides what you become.

Each of those businesses sold something dif
Ep. 271 - Growing an Oil and Gas Plus Mining Systems Integrator in Alberta with JPI Solutions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oil and gas automation runs on royalty accounting as much as process control. Dustin Symes explains how that shapes every SCADA decision JPI Solutions makes. Canadian oil and gas is structured differently than most assume. In the US mineral rights usually sit with individuals, so custody transfer draws a hard line between upstream and midstream. In Canada the provinces hold most rights, so a producer can gather 100 wells into one plant and sell to a pipeline company there. That lands on the auto
Ep. 270 - How to Start a Systems Integrator: Scope, Hiring, and the Bottleneck That Is You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people who start a systems integrator expect to keep doing the engineering. Dylan DuFresne explains why that stops being true inside two years. Ask ten people what a systems integrator is and you get ten answers, so Dylan DuFresne starts from first principles: a third party that connects systems which used to sit isolated. The market then splits in two. One is the generalist who has seen a hundred platforms across a thousand facilities and knows how they behave together. The other is the sp
