Everyone is chasing generative AI and autonomous agents, but the industrial AI that already delivers, predictive maintenance and computer vision, never left the factory floor. A field reality check on hype versus what actually works, and why the best engineering starts with the problem, not the technology.
This article takes you inside a real-world deployment where MLOps at the edge powers hourly solar radiation forecasts in a photovoltaic plant. By combining AI with real-time data flows, and cloud integration, the solution delivers higher prediction accuracy, faster response times, and optimized plant performance. Discover how Edge MLOps is transforming solar forecasting.
The project showcases the benefits of substation virtualization, which enables real-time monitoring, AI-driven fault detection, improved security planning, and cost-effective upgrades. At the core is Barbara’s Edge Node, capable of processing 4,000 signal samples per second and capturing event-triggered data using GOOSE connectors, mirroring the functionality of a physical oscilloscope, remotely and securely. Learn more in the following article.
Barbara, the leading Edge AI Orchestration Platform, has been named by STL Partners as one of the Top 50 Edge Computing Companies to Watch in 2025, marking its third consecutive year and reinforcing its position as a global leader in Edge Computing and Edge AI.
Discover how GS-Inima seamlessly connects its OT systems with its central IT platform (SAP) by deploying applications at the Edge while centrally managing, updating, and securing all devices and apps from a single interface.
This post explores how Barbara enables Food & Beverage plants to turn raw data into real-time insights and AI readiness, transforming the Unified Namespace into a real competitive advantage.
Barbara has been a trusted leader in secure orchestration at the Industrial Edge, helping organizations deploy advanced data and AI applications in mission-critical environments. With the launch of Barbara Platform 3.0.0, we’re entering a new chapter,expanding our capabilities to support even greater flexibility, performance, and resilience at scale.
We’ve just launched Barbara platform v3.0.0, a major update focused on giving users the power to orchestrate any app no matter if they are legacy or containerized and any AI model regardless the framework used.
Edge Computing and DataOps are different, and they’re most effective when used together. But by starting with a secure, flexible, and robust edge computing platform like Barbara, industrial companies can create a future-proof foundation that supports any DataOps toolset, avoids vendor lock-in, and is ready to scale into the next generation of intelligent industrial systems.
In industrial environments, disconnected systems make real-time decision-making difficult. Unified Namespace (UNS) offers a solution by creating a Single Source of Truth, but implementation can be complex. Barbara’s Edge Platform simplifies real-time data acquisition, processing, and security, making UNS deployment seamless. This article explains how.
