The growth of Edge technology is causing a revolution on the path to Industry 4.0, and the need has arisen to define different parts of the Edge and their functionalities. Concepts such as thin edge and thick edge have emerged from the exponential growth of Edge Computing technology, which industry experts claim is the key to the digital transformation of critical industrial infrastructures.
Fog Computing models are facilitating the creation of industrial IoT systems with lower latencies and lower bandwidth requirements, resulting in more cost-effective operations..
Docker brings enormous flexibility to application development teams: it gives them the freedom to develop in the programming language of their choice and deploy them easily without worrying about the final hardware on which they will run. It also simplifies the maintenance and version control of the applications themselves, which is very useful for homogeneous deployments in distributed environments.
Barbara IoT publishes the first Industrial Edge Computing Barometer, a report to help understand the degree of development of this technology in Spain.
Edge AI has emerged as a game-changer technology for the Industrial World. Industries with highly distributed critical assets will be the great beneficiaries of taking advanced computing to the Edge.
ONNECTED project seeks to digitise, connect and enable the communication of all equipment in the HORECA and Industrial Laundry sector in a cybersecure manner. Supported by AI and Big Data, manufacturers can now incorporate sensors, software and wireless connectivity to add new features to their products and differentiate them in the market.
