Focus! …and Take IIoT Action

Your focus may be within your four walls – but the real value is shifting the Industrial IoT attention to your supply chain. While the latest edge computing consolidates, contextualizes and filters end-point sensor data near the point of creation, it also provides a pathway for this data to be packaged and delivered. Where it’s […]

IoT Security: The Visibility of Assets in the Field

IoT security is a complex issue, especially in projects involving hundreds of edge devices in the field. Cloud security and edge security are two very different issues. Edge systems are isolated, and if there is a network disruption the devices need to know how to protect themselves on an individual basis. At Litmus we’ve seen three […]

Edge or Cloud? The Six Factors That Determine Where to Put Workloads

It’s predictable as continental drift: the center of gravity in computing moves every few decades from the center and the edge and back again thanks to changing demands and technological advances. From 1948 to the 70s, centralized mainframes ruled because that’s all there was. Then Intel invested 4004 in 1971 which brought processing power to […]

Remote Machine Monitoring: A Game-Changer for Machine Builders

An issue in manufacturing that is singular to machine builders is the speed with which they can respond with service to the machines, in the case of a failure. In the past, this has usually meant an actual failure has taken place, resulting in a delayed order, scrapped parts, and potentially days of downtime. When […]

IT/OT convergence: Addressing the perception gaps

IoT can be viewed as an ideal opportunity to bridge the worlds of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).  IoT projects over the last several years have focused on device onboarding and getting data aggregated into the cloud…usually an IT-managed cloud. Data access and analytical insight from that data has been parsed out from […]
