Industrial Edge: What Leaders Need to Rethink Now

For many industrial organizations, the edge has long been treated as a fixed, isolated part of operations. But as digital transformation initiatives scale—and artificial intelligence, analytics, and cybersecurity concerns intensify—this view is rapidly becoming outdated.Erik Nordmark, Co-founder and CTO at ZEDEDA, emphasizes that today’s industrial edge must be dynamic and software-defined. In his view, the […]

Why AI Needs IoT to Deliver Real Value in Industrial Operations

Artificial intelligence dominates manufacturing strategy conversations, yet most industrial AI projects stall before they deliver measurable value. The missing ingredient is almost always the same: reliable, contextualized data flowing from IoT sensors, PLCs, and edge devices on the plant floor. In this IIoT World explainer, we break down why AI and IoT are not separate […]

Embedded AI at the Edge: Rethinking Industrial Performance in Real Time

Running artificial intelligence models directly on edge devices inside factories, substations, and process plants is no longer experimental; it is becoming a competitive requirement. Embedded AI at the edge eliminates cloud roundtrip latency, keeps sensitive operational data on-premises, and enables real-time quality inspection, anomaly detection, and autonomous machine adjustments. In this article, IIoT World examines […]

Why Circular Manufacturing Needs Automation, AI, and Modular Design to Compete

Circular manufacturing, the practice of designing products and production systems to eliminate waste, extend asset life, and recover materials at end of use, is moving from aspirational concept to operational imperative. Regulatory pressure, raw material volatility, and customer demand for sustainable products are forcing manufacturers to rethink linear take-make-dispose models. Yet achieving true circularity at […]
