From Namespace to Intelligence: Alex Marcy on Ignition, UNS, and MCP in the Real World

What happens when an integrator stops just using software and starts pushing it past its conventional limits? In this episode, Travis and Tom sit down with Alex Marcy, CEO of Corso Systems and long-time community trailblazer, to explore the cutting edge of industrial automation. Drawing on 15+ years of hands-on platform experience, Alex breaks down the reality of scaling a business around Ignition, the practical implementation of Unified Namespace (UNS), and how he’s leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bring real-world AI applications to the plant floor today.
