Industrial IT/OT Integration with Kubernetes – ayedo shows how

Kubernetes has long since moved beyond being just an IT team topic—it’s becoming a key technology to take industrial use cases from prototype to rollout. In this episode, Fabian Peter, CEO of ayedo, talks about real-world challenges in manufacturing: distributed machines, complex update processes, lack of standardization, and growing compliance demands. He explains how Kubernetes can serve as an operational platform for containerized applications—such as for predictive maintenance, OPC UA-based data connectivity, or API-based manufacturer integrations. The advantage: updates run automatically, changes go live within minutes, and applications remain resilient—even in complex infrastructure environments. According to Fabian, many companies underestimate the initial hurdles—especially in the midmarket, where expertise is often lacking. That’s why ayedo offers managed services to help companies run their software on Kubernetes—whether for third-party apps or proprietary solutions. What matters most: a European stack that’s GDPR-compliant, flexible, and backed by personal 24/7 support. This episode is geared toward digitalization leaders in industry, mechanical engineering, and the energy sector who want to standardize and future-proof their IT/OT systems—without getting lost in the complexity of hyperscalers.
