    E9 | What's New, What's Next, and How AI Is Changing the Way We Build with Lance Menard

    Craig sits down with Fuuz CTO Lance for a candid look at what's been shipped, what's coming next, and how AI is reshaping how the platform is built.   They walk through the new Enterprise Data Explorer, a cross-site, real-time view of your operational data that Walker Reynolds called "UNS on steroids," along with improvements to the Application Designer, new connectors and drivers, and a sneak peek at the Ignition module coming to ICC in September.   Then the conversation shifts to AI. Not buzzwords, the actual mechanics of how Fuuz's engineering team is using Claude to write code, review pull requests, and submit features from ticket to pull request with minimal human intervention. Lance doesn't sugarcoat what that means for entry-level developers, and Craig doesn't either.   If you want to know what's actually happening inside one of manufacturing's most ambitious platforms, this is the episode. 🔗 Learn more at fuuz.com   Timestamps 02:58 Enhanced Navigation & Enterprise Data Explorer 11:24 App Designer & Flow Designer Improvements 17:46 Pro Code Enhancements & Release Notes 20:24 MCP Server & AI-Assisted App Generation 23:09 Fuuz Platform Trial & New Schema Field Types 27:51 Screen Elements & Technical Debt 33:01 Zero-Maintenance Platform & App Graph 36:57 AI in Engineering: Enhanced Development 47:20 AI Benefits, Bootcamps, and Future Outlook    ******************* Hosted by Fuuz Founder and CEO Craig Scott, this podcast takes you behind the curtain of one of the most powerful industrial platforms on the market.

    E8 | IT/OT Convergence, Security, and Building a Real Enterprise UNS

    Most manufacturers have an IT team and an OT team, and they rarely speak the same language.   In this episode of Fuuz Unplugged, Craig sits down with Aaron Kittell, Director of IT Operations at Merz Aesthetics, and Dylan DuFresne from Abelara to talk about what it actually takes to bridge that divide.   Aaron brings a rare perspective. He breaks down why security becomes a project killer when it's bolted on instead of built in, how to get leadership excited about data infrastructure, and what it was like to go through the Fuuz platform boot camp firsthand.   Dylan walks through Abelara's top-down, bottom-up engagement process, and together the three dig into what a real enterprise Unified Namespace looks like when it's driven from the IT side with a clear operational vision.   Raw, honest, and grounded in real experience, this one's worth your time.

    E7 | Why Most CRMs Fail Manufacturers and What Rolldog Does Differently

    Most manufacturers are engineering-first, sales-second, and their CRM setup shows it. In this episode of Fuuz Unplugged, Craig Scott sits down with Craig Crawford, Founder and CEO of Rolldog, to discuss how a purpose-built CRM can improve the sales process for industrial companies.   They get into AI-powered opportunity scoring, the real cost of bad forecasting data, and why generic CRM tools just don't cut it in complex B2B manufacturing environments. Craig also breaks down Rolldog's white-glove implementation approach, ideal customer profile, and where the platform is headed next.
