Episode 36: Future of SCADA Communications Software with Stephen Sponseller

Pipeliners Podcast host Russel Treat welcomes new guest Stephen Sponseller from PTC to discuss the important topic of SCADA communications software and where the technology is going. In this episode, you will learn about edge computing and the importance of capturing data for real-time analysis, how the devices used in the field continue to change and improve because of new technology, and the next big change in the next 3-10 years using AI. “I think three years from now, we're going to see this whole thing about edge computing beginning to proliferate, and it's going to change the way people think about how they build up their automation, communications, and control systems. I think the first earthquake is in the very near term.”
