Symmera, a pioneering technology company for XIoT and AI/ML enablement, has joined the Margo alliance as a contributor to help define an open standards based solution for IoT/OT connected devices and Enterprise digitalization. Srinivas Kumar, CEO, will be part of the technical working group, and Shreya Uchil, VP of product management, will be part of the marketing working group.
Across various industry segments, the adoption of an open-standards-based platform for enterprise digitalization helps application developers, original equipment manufacturers, and end-users leverage simplified zero- or low-code solution models. This approach further reduces recurring costs, enhances operational efficiencies, ensures interoperability, and facilitates trust automation through data-driven insights. Digital transformation will require a platform to provide software defined trust and automation for protection of cyber physical systems. Empowering analytics with enriched device intelligence, increasing operational efficiencies with simplified workflows from factory to field, and reducing operational costs with IT-OT convergence are drivers of the global digital economy.
Margo is a new open-source initiative for interoperability between edge applications, edge devices, and edge management software. Margo focuses on data interoperability, leveraging standards like OPC-UA, MQTT, OpenTelemetry, and Kubernetes. The core principles are interoperability, scalability, and simplicity, with stated focus on industrial automation, infrastructure, fleet, and application management. The basic requirements include support for a trusted platform module (TPM), secure boot, zero trust network access (ZTNA), and attestation. The objective is to provide packaging definition, reduce customization by device vendors, and simplify content management and delivery.
Working together with industry professionals, we are committed to defining an open standard based reference architecture and interoperability platform to simplify implementation and achieving the objectives of digital trust for security, availability, and scalability.
