The factory of the future is not being built from the cloud down; it is being rebuilt from the edge up. In this article, IIoT World explores how modern edge data architectures are fundamentally changing manufacturing operations by enabling real-time analytics, energy optimization, and predictive maintenance at the point of production. Rather than routing every […]

Many manufacturers are drowning in data and struggling to make it useful. A modern industrial facility can easily produce more than a terabyte of data each day. With a wave of new technologies for artificial intelligence and machine learning coupled with real-time dashboards, we should see huge gains in productivity. Unplanned asset and production line […]

You don’t have to agree with environmental policies to know that sustainability is a part of business and life today. Supply chain partners, regulators, customers, and investors are demanding more environmental accountability from manufacturers—and with good cause. According to the International Energy Agency, the manufacturing and power sectors account for 63% of energy-related CO2 emissions […]
