TL;DR AI is driving new computational demands at the industrial edge. Traditional GPUs compromise rugged industrial PC performance. MLSoC enables edge AI without sacrificing durability. Local LLMs reduce latency, cost, and cloud dependency. Edge AI enables greater...
Why this matters now As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates, it is easy to assume that progress requires turning more decisions over to machines. In industrial environments, however, the most valuable AI applications today are those that support operators...
Why this matters now A strong reliability program has long been tied directly to improved production, safety, and operational performance. Today’s sensing technologies deliver unprecedented visibility into asset health, enabling teams to keep critical equipment...
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...
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 this matters now Artificial intelligence is evolving at a rapid pace, transforming how organizations across industries access and leverage data. However, in operational technology (OT) environments, this evolution must be carefully managed to maintain safety,...
Why this matters now One of the consequences of a vast improvement in the capability and affordability of sensing devices over the last few years has been a significantly increased risk of overwhelming operational technology (OT) teams with too much data. Data is...
Why this matters now As explored in his recent article in Control Engineering, Emerson’s Dave Denison—leveraging his decades of experience in the automation industry—explains that OT teams face a unique challenge as AI adoption accelerates. While AI is gaining...
Why this matters now Renewable generation has moved from pilot projects to core capacity, and the shift to widely dispersed, remotely managed assets expands the cyber-attack surface for utilities. A resilient posture now hinges on redundant connectivity,...
The Challenge There is no question that in the face of global competition, workforce shortages, and constantly shifting demand, industrial companies are under more pressure than ever to deliver more efficient, optimized operations across their enterprises. For years,...
Cybersecurity is a critical concern for industrial manufacturers these days, particularly as high-profile incidents targeting plants have become the new normal. No organization wants to risk the production loss, safety concerns, and reputation damage that come with a...
As systems become increasingly interconnected, we talk more and more about the importance of data and, more specifically, the need to get data to the right people, in the right format, at the right time, wherever they may be. This initiative has become even more...
