The Advantages of Micro Data Centers in Industrial Edge Computing
The benefits of industrial edge computing are becoming more apparent across a variety of industries. It brings low-latency compute capacity closer to applications and in the process, makes real-time data processing faster. Yet, building an edge computing solution can take a lot
Edge Computing: Hype or Reality?
What is Edge Computing? The most basic explanation of Edge Computing describes it as the next generation of the geographical location of physical computing infrastructure and architecture, relocating closer to enterprises and people to meet the demand from the next wave of devices
Distributed Edge Computing: New Kid in Town
Medium-sized companies are being increasingly challenged to figure out how their product portfolios or operations can become smarter with the help of the IoT technology. A growing number of connected devices produce trillions of gigabytes of data per day (at
How Industrial Linux Enables Distributed IIoT Applications
Distributed applications are on the cutting edge of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). By leveraging the latest advances in edge computing, that is, deploying edge gateways to collect and preprocess data from numerous sensors and other devices spread across
Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing in Manufacturing
We’ve all heard a lot about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its crucial role in empowering key elements of the “Factory of the Future”. And future Edge Computing is changing the way we think about what kind of digital performance can
Picking a path: build versus buy
Every organization in our digital world has to determine whether it is better to buy commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software or build software that directly meets their needs. For over 20 years, the argument has strongly favored buy. Historically, COTS has
Can Edge Computing Finally Make IT and OT Get Along?
Edge computing is crucial for the success of IIoT, especially when it comes to the convergence of IT and operational technology (OT). For years IT and OT teams have worked in silos, with each developing systems and processes that are
Smart Manufacturing: Cloud vs. Edge Computing
There are an endless number of buzzwords in the technology industry at any given moment. We’ve all heard more than enough about the Cloud, the Edge and the Internet of Things (IoT) for the past several years. However, there still
7 Business Reasons to Develop a Predictive Maintenance Program
Predictive Maintenance allows you to offer new services to customers, where you use realtime data and insights from your deployed base of units to distance yourself from the competition and create enhanced customer value. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is the ability to
