In this segment, the speaker emphasizes that data has become a commodity for manufacturers and that the key to gaining competitive advantage lies in effectively capturing and utilizing that data. He advocates for low-code/no-code tools as a means to simplify data collection and integration, especially for operational layers such as ladder logic and structured text used in maintenance and operations. The speaker outlines a layered integration strategy, where data can be fed into existing systems like SCADA, historians, or cloud platforms, and stresses that the easier and more standardized these integrations are, the higher the adoption and acceptance across the manufacturing floor.

You know, high level on all this, I do see, I mentioned it earlier, but, you know, data is very much a commodity for manufacturers as a whole. And I think the better you can do in getting that data and utilizing that data, you could debate on which data and how much data, you know, that was a debate earlier today. And I, but actually getting it is key. Yeah. And that's a lot of what this low-code, no-code can help with. And And, you know, I, to not freak people out, you know, I kind of personally draw a line and, you know, there's the operational piece of it, which is the ladder and the structured text. So you could do the maintenance operations and these kind of things. And if you can integrate into that, awesome. But if you can't, at least you can layer it on top. So you can do that integration to a SCADA, to a historian, to a whatever, to a cloud, to a, you know, a— Whatever you want. Sort of space to collect data and move data. But that integration, the easier we can make that, the more accepted we can make that, the more standard we can make that, the better.
