Data and Edge Computing: Could You Be Missing Out?
When it comes to smart factory automation, getting relevant data is one thing. Getting it into the right hands quickly and easily is another. That’s where a Cloud strategy that lets you capitalize on edge computing can help. Edge Computing: Defined What is
Edge computing enables sustainability and climate awareness
Data centres consume an estimated 200 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy each year–more than the energy consumption of some countries. They also produce an estimated 2% of all global CO2 emissions. These figures are both staggering and seemingly despairing–after all,
The Advantages of Micro Data Centers in Industrial Edge Computing
The benefits of industrial edge computing are becoming more apparent across a variety of industries. It brings low-latency compute capacity closer to applications and in the process, makes real-time data processing faster. Yet, building an edge computing solution can take a lot
Edge Computing: Hype or Reality?
What is Edge Computing? The most basic explanation of Edge Computing describes it as the next generation of the geographical location of physical computing infrastructure and architecture, relocating closer to enterprises and people to meet the demand from the next wave of devices
Distributed Edge Computing: New Kid in Town
Medium-sized companies are being increasingly challenged to figure out how their product portfolios or operations can become smarter with the help of the IoT technology. A growing number of connected devices produce trillions of gigabytes of data per day (at
How Industrial Linux Enables Distributed IIoT Applications
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
Artificial Intelligence and Edge Computing in Manufacturing
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 of digital performance can
Picking a path: build versus buy
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 buy. Historically, COTS has
Can Edge Computing Finally Make IT and OT Get Along?
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 and processes that are
