How do you decouple device management from apps in a rugged industrial setting? 🛠️ In our latest demo with Belden, we show how Margo works across the stack. The result? An industrial "App Store" where you can download exactly what your shop floor needs, when you need it.

Industrial interoperability is traditionally slow, but Margo is changing the pace. ⚡️ We sat down with @BeldenInc to discuss why they are betting on the Margo Initiative. The consensus? A 'Code First, API First' approach is the catalyst the industrial edge has been waiting for.
