The increased edge computing rate is simplifying industrial processes in new ways but the data sets edge devices capture sometimes require larger repositories for more insight into industrial automation processes. This is where a juxtaposition of edge and cloud computing is required to collect,...

The effectiveness of edge computing in industrial settings is such that many believe it will surpass the use of cloud computing within a decade. These deductions or predictions are due to the increased versatility that edge computing devices bring to data processing. Edge computing devices can...

The future of industrial computing is the edge. This is easy to note today as statistics point to approximately 75 billion connected devices across the world by 2025. The ability to provide low latency processing and speed up computing processes is driving this change, and the impact of edge...

The need for real-time processing or processing at the speed of thought is the foundation behind edge computing. Edge computing delivers low latency processing in which data capture and analytics happen close to the data source. In this comprehensive post on edge computing, the role of edge...

As the new manufacturing cycle begins, now is the time to make decisions that will increase productivity levels, equipment efficiency, and product quality. One of the decisions to make is choosing to integrate cloud computing technology to drive manufacturing and revenue growth. The adoption of...

Edge computing devices are generally devices that provide entry points into enterprise networks. This means the average router or switch used in white-collar offices is actually an edge computing device. While popular hardware may work excellently in controlled environments, it will struggle to...

As far as computing within industrial ecosystems is concerned, enterprises deploy one of the three available options, or a mix of them. These computing options are on-premise IT architecture, cloud computing, and on-premise cloud ecosystems. Although the location of data centers differentiates...

The complete automation of industrial processes relies on connectivity. For the Internet of Things (IoT) to function without downtime, low latency communications must be achievable to ensure that interconnected networks function both online and offline. This is why 5G, edge computing, edge...

Early in the third quarter of 2019, Gartner published its first-ever report on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) niche which provided a picture into the IIoT market, cloud computing, edge computing, and their industrial applications. While the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IIoT showed an...
