Ep 19: Application of Web 3 in Industrial IoT & Edge Computing - Rex St. John ( Jetson Software Ecosystem - NVIDIA )

As the saying goes, "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater".

Many people in the manufacturing space are quick to dismiss Web 3, and justifiably, because of the recent sensationalism created around it by Big Tech.

And yet, Web 3 has the potential to massively impact how we build production systems. In fact, the success of Industry 4.0 lies, to some extent, in the enablement of decentralised peer-to-peer networking of factories, with decentralised storage, compute, and connectivity.

In any case, now that Web 3 has come to the fore, I decided to invite Rex St. John, a passionate advocate for Web 3, to discuss the Application of Web 3 in Industrial Edge Computing.

Rex has spent over a decade building developer relations programs at companies such as Intel, ARM, and NVIDIA, where he is currently building a global software ecosystem for NVIDIA Jetson.

Here's the outline of our discussion linked below.

✔️ What Web 3 Really is and its Key Drivers
✔️ How will Web 3 impact Industrial IoT in Manufacturing
✔️ Current challenges of Web 3 Application in Industrial Edge Computing
✔️ Architectural Approach for decentralizing compute, storage, and connectivity using Web 3
✔️ Existing projects for decentralised compute, storage, and connectivity.
✔️ Subsidising hardware for Web 3 in Industrial Edge Computing
✔️ Practical Use Cases of Web 3 and Edge Computing in Industry
✔️ Distributed Training of Artificial Intelligence models using Web 3
✔️ The future potential of Web 3 and Edge Computing in Industry
