The Fledge project is exclusively focused on the industrial market. From a SWOT (Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat) perspective, this limits the audience of potential committers since consumer, home, retail, gaming etc developers are not a fit. An additional challenge in this market is the lack of open source culture with industrials, equipment manufacturers and industrial system integrators. The Fledge project has the goal of changing this culture. Of the current 46 Git Authors roughly 80% are from the industrial market - exclusively.
FogLAMP started with an Apache 2 license and an open Git repository. However, it did not start with a formal governing body tracking contributors and contributions. Early architecture was a joint effort between OSIsoft, Dinaomic, process manufacturers and other software suppliers. Efforts by many were combined in terms of ideas, architectures, writing code, testing, documentation, bug fixing and contracting. Here’s a partial list of the companies involved.
Beckhoff - PLC Vendor | Nexcom - Industrial Gateways |
Dianomic - IIoT Software | Nokia - Wireless Communications |
Flir - IR/Gas Cameras | OSIsoft - Historian |
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 |
