Taking advantage of IIoT at the Edge - Best Practices
Successfully leveraging IIoT is more than just installing applications to analyze sensor data and update production schedules or maintenance windows. You need to ensure your edge IT infrastructure is available, connected and secure. However, using off-the-shelf IT tools and technologies is overly complex and will require increasing IT investments at the edge. A new type of edge infrastructure is needed that enables operators to innovate by providing on-premises reliability and security, with robust remote monitoring and remediation. Learn how today’s operators have been able to reduce barriers to IIoT deployment with Stratus’s technologies, and learn what’s on tap for the future.
Off-the-shelf IT tools and technologies won't work well for emerging edge computing requirements. Successfully leveraging IIoT at the edge will require secure and reliable, yet operationally simple edge IT infrastructure.
