Edge Computing
Edge computing technology is quickly becoming a megatrend in industrial control, offering a wide range of benefits for factory automation applications. New Edge computing hardware and software technologies ensures that your data gets from its source to the cloud safely and securely.
Automation applications benefit from collecting and analysing data at the edge, but the key is what data, what aspects of operations and what are the expectations of analytics that can deliver actionable productivity improvements.
Edge computing offers easier, flexible, and more secure use of data in the field.
Optimised data points can be transferred more quickly to the cloud where, for example, you have access to more computing power and larger storage capacities.
Enjoy the benefits of:
· Local, secure bulk data processing
· Regular software and system updates mean shorter innovation cycles and greater flexibility
· Central updates, security integrated connectivity and automation integration reduce the time to market, saving money and software development time
· Open ecosystem via industrial app store.
Conventional data processing at field level can be costly, time consuming and create silos of data. Edge computing collects and processes data directly and securely at the machine with no latency using your software and a central system for administration, deployment, and updates.
