Justin Baucum, who's leading Isembard's U.S. expansion, joins Steve Plumb to discuss the company's unique business model of establishing contract manufacturing franchises on the latest episode of Advanced Manufacturing Live.

What is a time series database and why should you consider using one?
In this podcast, we will examine challenges that traditional relational databases struggle to address efficiently and how to implement high-performance time-series data systems with minimal operational overhead.
We'll explore how modern open source technologies like InfluxDB, Apache Arrow, DataFusion, and turn high-volume, high-velocity, high-resolution manufacturing and industrial data into actionable intelligence, without compromising performance and keeping storage costs low.
What you'll learn:
Why traditional databases struggle with modern manufacturing data requirements

Key characteristics that make time series databases essential for industrial operations

How to achieve real-time data processing at massive scale with minimal infrastructure overhead

Practical implementation strategies using modern open source technologies

Real-world manufacturing use cases demonstrating measurable ROI and operational improvements
