I started out as a control systems engineer, working in plants where everything important happened in one place. There was just one site, one control room, and one process to watch. You could stand right in the middle of it all.The energy systems being built now have none of that. A single operator’s portfolio might […]

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 […]

As manufacturers push AI inference to edge devices on the factory floor, a new and underappreciated cybersecurity challenge emerges: how do you ensure that over-the-air model updates are authentic, untampered, and safe to deploy on safety-critical systems? In this IIoT World analysis, we examine the threat vectors unique to edge AI model delivery, from supply […]
