Data centres consume an estimated 200 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy each year–more than the energy consumption of some countries. They also produce an estimated 2% of all global CO2 emissions. These figures are both staggering and seemingly despairing–after all, so much of our global infrastructure and modern economy relies upon these goliath server farms […]

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 of work. If you’re manufacturing goods in a factory or producing safe water or clean […]

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 and applications – better known as the Internet of Things (IoT) or Industrial IoT […]

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 the edge). They are facing bandwidth infrastructure limitations, growing costs for data transfer and cloud, […]

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 many different field locations before transmitting mission-critical information to the cloud, distributed IIoT applications bring […]

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 be achieved from devices at the edge of powerful 5G networks. But what happens when […]

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 had several advantages: faster time-tomarket, lower engineering costs, lower risk and immediate deployment for use. […]

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 purpose built for their specific needs. However, the most successful organizations have realized that the […]

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 seems to be some confusion in the Smart Manufacturing industry about how these three terms […]

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 use historical data and analysis at realtime to optimize and predict when a failure […]

What is the Connectivity Challenge for IIoT, and why will it persist? The challenge is pretty straightforward … and fundamental. Simply stated, computing and connectivity obey different laws. The law of computing is one of exponential power, Moore’s Law. From the dawn of computing to the present day, it’s the driving force behind Gartner’s recent […]

Edge platforms are beginning to play a vital role in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. Businesses deploying IoT solutions recognize that many optimally designed IoT solutions, especially those in the industrial vertical, take advantage of one or multiple edge components. In fact, MachNation research suggests that most IoT solutions in verticals such as manufacturing, […]
