The electricity sector is undergoing a revolution and Edge Computing is positioning itself as a great ally. But in which use cases is this technology being applied?

Barbara’s Edge Platform allows the deployment of algorithms from different authors in the same Edge Node and facilitates its remote management in a cybersecure fashion.

Under the name of "Technological Island" driven by GAIA and located in a 200 square meters space, Barbara IoT will present its Cybersecure Platform for the Industrial Edge.

IoT security is one of the biggest concerns for those responsible for innovation and digital transformation in large organizations. It is especially relevant in companies with critical assets such as electricity, water utilities, transportation, oil and gas due to their impact beyond business.

As a general rule, we can define a platform as a set of tools that allows to build more complex systems. IoT platforms facilitate the development and deployment of IoT systems, allowing end users to focus on what is most important to them: operating their business.

IoT Edge Computing has the potential to transform the energy industry through its ability to process large amounts of data in real time ultimately improving the operational safety and efficiency.

Edge Computing technology has emerged as one of the hottest new technology proposals; data does not need to be fully centralised, instead some of it can be processed on distributed computers called Edge Nodes, that is, in the same place where the data is being generated.

The mission of PLATOON project is to develop a Big Data platform to optimise the entire energy system from generation, distribution and consumption with disruptive technologies such as the IoT Edge Computing.
