Enabling Industrial Edge Computing with Inlinet: Unlocking the Power of Industrial Automation
Introduction
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming the manufacturing landscape, enabling companies to unlock new efficiencies, improve productivity, and achieve greater competitiveness. At the heart of this revolution is the Industrial Edge, a network that enables seamless communication between devices and systems. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Inlinet’s innovative solution is enabling Industrial Edge computing, revolutionizing the way companies interact with their Industrial control systems.
What is Industrial Edge Computing?
Industrial Edge computing is a new paradigm that brings computing power to the edge of a network, closer to where data is generated. This approach enables real-time processing, analysis, and decision-making, which is critical in industrial automation. However, implementing Edge computing in industrial settings can be challenging due to the complexity of legacy industrial control systems, proprietary architecture, and limited visibility into industrial networks.
The Limitations of Traditional Industrial Control Systems
Traditional industrial control systems, often reliant on proprietary protocols, can be inflexible, costly, and difficult to integrate with modern IT infrastructure. These systems also tend to be siloed, making it challenging to access and analyze data from multiple sources. As a result, many companies struggle to capture the full value of their industrial data, hindering their ability to optimize operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs.
