The Community’s History and Growth Plan

Zededa introduced Dianomic to the LF Edge before its inception and asked Dianomic to join as a founding board member. In that effort, Zededa and Dianomic worked with Mike Woster to encourage OSIsoft, to also join as founding members.  The original idea was and remains to build a thriving open source industrial community. This is a challenge to the Linux Foundation in that industrial companies are not traditional open source users. The OT side of the Industrial market tends not to be software/compute experts, they are machine and process experts. So how have we grown the Fledge community and intend to exponentially grow it going forward?

To date the following companies are involved in coding, testing, writing documentation and contributing to the roadmap requirements.   

Beckhoff - PLC Vendor

Nexcom - Industrial Gateways

Dianomic - IIoT Software

Nokia - Wireless Communications

Flir - IR/Gas Cameras

OSIsoft - Data Infrastructure

General Atomics - Predator Drone

Rovisys - Industrial SI

Google - Search-ML-Cloud-TPUs

Transpara - HMI for Process Manufacturers

JEA - Energy/Water Company

Wago - PLC Vendor

Motorsports.ai - Racing Digital Twins

Zededa - VMs for IoT

All of these companies got involved due to use cases driving community participation. This organic community growth has accelerated during Covid not diminished. And, now with Fledge 1.8 complete, the new contributions will be made clearer with the LF Edges processes in place for all to track.
