The concept behind Machfu is this. If you think about the communications and applications revolutions that have occurred in the last thirty years, it started with the desktop world where Microsoft Windows democratized that space by creating a platform in which applications could be very easily written to. They kind of took the plumbing out of it, where the application developer does not have to worry about the internals of the computer. That unleashed a big revolution in both the consumer world and the enterprise world in terms of various innovations that came about.
A similar revolution happened in the smartphone world with Android and IOS. However, we are in the world of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), where it is largely tribal even today, with a number of different platforms and systems that do not interoperate very easily. For Machfu, our founding goal was that we create a very standardized platform at the edge where innovation just comes from multiple applications that can be very easily and quickly developed for industrial customers for improving process or for innovating new business models and other innovations. That is our goal and we are on track. In terms of the name itself – Machfu; Mach is speed and Fu comes from words like Kung-Fu, which means skill. Therefore, it is a combination of speed and skill.
