AI Data Centers Are Rewriting the Rules of Power Infrastructure
TL;DR AI data centers require far more power than traditional facilities. The electrical grid cannot yet support this scale or volatility. Onsite, islanded power systems are becoming the preferred approach. Project coordination is a major challenge across multiple...
Reshaping Grid and Data Center Power Strategies
Why this matters now The AI revolution is here, and it comes with a very real and growing demand for power. As AI capabilities become embedded into everyday tools and industrial systems alike, the energy required to train and operate these models has grown...
Edge Computing Enables Industrial AI Without Compromising OT Integrity
Why this matters now Many industrial organizations are at an operational inflection point. A global, highly competitive marketplace demands greater efficiency and optimization, yet many of the most powerful analytical and AI-driven tools live in the cloud. Operational...
Successful IIoT Starts with the End Goal, Not the Technology
Why this matters now In today’s increasingly connected world of industrial manufacturing, IIoT options abound. Yet while having options is a good thing, too many options can make it difficult to identify the right technologies to meet an organization’s unique...
How Industrial AI and Data Orchestration Are Redefining Operational Excellence
Why this matters now In modern process manufacturing, the definition of operational excellence has fundamentally changed. Organizations are no longer responsible for optimizing a single facility; instead, many operate expansive enterprises spanning multiple sites and...
Modern Reliability Requires a Unified Data Fabric
Why this matters now Modern manufacturing organizations have invested heavily in sensing technologies and reliability software to improve visibility into plant operations. While these tools have delivered value, they have also introduced new challenges when deployed...
Why Legacy SCADA Systems Remain a Cybersecurity Risk—and How to Mitigate It
Why this matters now One of the most persistent challenges in manufacturing today is managing cybersecurity risk across legacy automation infrastructure. Many organizations continue to rely on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that were deployed...
The Industrial Edge Is Critical for Cybersecurity in the CRA Era
TL;DR CRA introduces stricter cybersecurity requirements for connected systems. Direct OT-to-internet connectivity creates unacceptable risk. Industrial edge software provides a secure buffer layer. Protocol translation enables IT/OT interoperability. Secure edge...
