Simplify your enterprise architecture with Fuuz + Litmus

Most manufacturers we talk to aren't asking for more software. They're asking for less.Forty applications. A dozen integrations holding it all together.We cover:The supply chain ↔ factory floor disconnect, and why the language of customer POs almost never lines up with the work orders that actually get runWhy standard cost variances catch you at quarter close instead of when you can still do something about themWhat a C-suite KPI dashboard really looks like under the hood — and how many hours of manual reconciliation hide behind every "give me the top three reasons we missed."Craig Scott (CEO, Fuuz) on why this is an architecture problem, not a technology one — and what a shared operational model actually isDylan DuFresne on Fuuz as "IT software that understands OT," Litmus's 250+ device drivers, and modeling data as close to the edge as possibleHussein (Litmus) on edge containerization, metadata at scale, and the UNS flexibility you need to actually move fastThe security question — role-based access control, encrypted data, the Fuuz Gateway through the DMZ, and what "MCP-ready" actually means for OT dataThe brownfield reality — no rip-and-replace, just better connection into the SCADAs, historians, and OPC servers already in placeGlenn's mic drop — if you built top-down from the C-suite, you'd build Fuuz. If you built bottom-up from the factory floor, you'd build Litmus. They're the two most important anchor points in the whole industrial software ecosystem.CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro — the simplification thesis 00:51 Glenn's pain point #1 — supply chain ↔ factory floor disconnect 03:02 Pain point #2 — late awareness of cost variances 04:45 Context — why enterprises are cutting logos 05:48 Pain point #3 — C-suite KPIs vs. how they're really built 07:40 Cappy Hour reference (see the Prove It session) 09:22 The wish — one platform to solve all three 10:16 Craig Scott — it's an architecture problem, not a technology one 11:31 Excel is still the dominant MES 12:27 Shared operational model — red, blue, and purple data 14:09 Walker Reynolds, UNS, and an oil-and-gas project with 50+ software vendors 15:09 Death by a thousand cuts 16:08 Cost visibility isn't a reporting problem — it's a latency problem 17:36 Burying A-players in spreadsheets 18:45 Bridging C-suite KPIs to the plant floor 20:46 The operational model as DNA 22:35 Dylan — getting data from the edge, the right way 25:22 Litmus's 250+ drivers and edge data modeling 27:48 Kepware vs. Litmus — containerization at the enterprise 29:25 Edge modeling as the differentiator 30:48 PLC-level hygiene and OEM involvement 33:40 Patrick's question — security, RBAC, and the Fuuz Gateway 35:46 Litmus + Fuuz visualization — overlap and complement 38:36 Brownfield — Litmus and Fuuz alongside existing OPC, SCADA, historians 43:02 Why point-to-point solutions break at scale 44:38 Glenn's mic drop — top-down vs. bottom-up 46:15 The Lighthouse Partner — how to work with Abelara 47:19 Closing — we always start from a fresh sheet of paper\WORK WITH ABELARA — LIGHTHOUSE PARTNER PROGRAMCompanies come to Abelara to architect agnostic solutions and skip past the trial-and-error. We're accepting a small number of Lighthouse Partners — a digital transformation workshop, architected solution, and hitting the ground running.
