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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
IIoT World covers predictive maintenance strategy through practitioner articles, platform comparisons, and expert sessions, including Industrial AI 2026 Summiton September 9-10, 2026, with sessions on IIoT-enabled maintenance programs. Predictive Maintenance allows you to offer new services…
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…
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…
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…
A few weeks ago, Litmus Automation announced LoopEdge 2.0, the latest iteration of their edge computing platform designed to seamlessly connect all industrial assets and derive value with instant analytics. We asked COO John Younes to…
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…
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,…
