IntroductionThe idea of IoT is simple: devices, sensors and other “smart” objects are connected to the Internet, allowing them to collect and exchange data. IoT helps companies track and manage their assets, such as containers, trailers, machinery, tools and pallets carrying high value goods.While IoT is widely deployed in many industries, there is also a […]

When manufacturers discuss predictive analytics, the focus often jumps straight to machine learning models or AI. But as the panel “Predict, Prevent, Optimize: Real Results from Augmented Industrial Data” made clear, the biggest challenge isn’t the math—it’s the plumbing. Data has to move quickly, cleanly, and at scale. Without that foundation, even the smartest model will […]

Most predictive maintenance sensors work well—until they don’t. When your pump is in an acid-laden environment, your mill bearings hit 120-150°C, or your crane gearbox runs at 4 RPM for half the shift, the majority of “AI-enabled” standard sensors become expensive paperweights. That’s where COOs leading high-reliability plants are quietly shifting from standard predictive AI […]

In many industrial organizations, operations and maintenance teams still walk into work with more uncertainty than confidence. There are checklists to follow, logs to review, and a familiar set of problems that always seem one step ahead. Something breaks, someone reacts, and the system limps forward. That rhythm is common across transport, utilities, manufacturing, and […]

As data continues to explode across industries and geographies, the conversation is shifting—from what can be done in the cloud to what must be done at the edge. And right in the middle of this shift is ZEDEDA, a Bay Area startup making serious moves in edge infrastructure. From industrials and renewables to retail, automotive, […]

Modern industrial operations are redefining their relationship with data. No longer just a historical record, data now shapes real-time decisions and future outcomes. Systems across the factory floor continuously collect temperature, vibration, and motor speed readings through PLCs, IoT devices, and SCADA platforms.But collecting data isn’t enough. The value lies in making it actionable—surfacing insights […]

Access to the correct assets, equipment, and raw materials at the right time is vital for maintaining production schedules in a busy factory. Workers can spend up to 20% of their time searching for missing tools, leading to delays, frustration, and increased safety risks. These inefficiencies can cause significant downtime, especially in high-value manufacturing environments. […]

What Are We Talking About?Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) represent a pivotal advancement in global communications, designed to extend connectivity far beyond the limits of ground-based infrastructure. By leveraging spaceborne and airborne assets—such as Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Geostationary (GEO) satellites, as well as High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) and UAVs—NTNs enable seamless […]
