TL;DR Operational excellence now requires continuous optimization, not just production output. Edge computing brings analytics and AI closer to the process. Local AI supports faster decision-making and safer operations. Industrial PCs provide the compute power needed...
TL;DR Industrial organizations have more data than ever, but much of it remains siloed. AI requires contextualized, accessible data to deliver meaningful value. Edge architectures provide low-latency access to high-fidelity operational data. Local LLMs improve...
TL;DR Many OT teams are overwhelmed by unstructured data. Data silos limit visibility and prevent actionable insights. Modern edge infrastructure improves data access and context. Edge controllers enable reliable connectivity in remote environments. Low-latency data...
Why this matters now As manufacturers push toward higher levels of operational excellence, many have adopted AI and machine learning technologies to close the gap between available resources and rising performance demands. These technologies have delivered step-change...
Why this matters now As industry faces an ever-increasing number of new challenges—workforce reductions, supply chain shortages, increased global competition, and more—operational technology (OT) teams are continually looking for ways to optimize their operations....
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...
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...
Why this matters now The days of automation systems being completely isolated from the outside world are long gone. While some assets may remain air-gapped, most critical OT systems increasingly require connectivity to external systems to remain competitive. The rise...
For years, digital transformation seemed to stagnate. Operational technology (OT) teams were implementing new sensing devices and software, and collecting massive amounts of data, but they had trouble turning that data into actionable information. In some cases, that...
A whitepaper, Edge Technology: Accessing and Integrating Critical Isolated Data, answers questions about the advantages IIoT technology brings, what it does, and who needs it.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the chemical industry, the adoption of edge computing and IIoT technologies is gaining momentum.
Everyone in industry and business uses the term digital transformation, but there are myriad definitions and meanings behind their casual use of the words. This can be confusing for an enterprise just considering or embarking on its digital transformation journey....
