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 […]

If you’re an industrial manufacturer or OEM wishing to adopt IIoT as part of your overall digital strategy, you’ll find that edge computing is often a required component. Even though edge computing is used pervasively throughout IIoT, its exact purpose and place in the technology stack is not always clear. Edge Computing & IIoT This lack of […]

This paper focuses on enabling and leveraging computational power at the edge The first paper in a short series on the Industrial IoT (IIoT) focused on the intrinsic need to decouple data generation from data usage, functionality that is enabled by replicating the decoupled ICT architecture of enterprise environments. This is needed in order to […]

Virtualization, which in recent years has taken increasingly important steps, has become the model of integration and management of systems with the most promising evolution. Virtualization also means rationalizing the use of a network, of a data storage resource, of software. The concept of virtualization describes a technology that is abstracted from the physical component, […]

Visual inspection—making sure that the parts are all present, the labels are on straight, and the packing materials are all in place—is an essential component of quality control in the manufacturing industry. By double-checking everything before products leave the factory floor, you can dramatically cut expenses, reduce waste, make customers happier, and lower the chance […]

Regardless of whether you are retrofitting or purchasing new IT systems to remain competitive in manfacturing, you should develop a digitized, data-driven production strategy based on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). It’s important to recognize the collection and storage of production-relevant data is only half the battle. A networked production line will only realize its full […]

A few years ago, we used to navigate for one week during the Hannover Messe long hallways, trying to catch as much as possible, meet new companies, startups and find out about the latest innovation in the technology space. This year, Hannover Messe, for the first time, is online only. The bad part is that […]
