Rockwell Automation introduced the first capability of its edge strategy with FactoryTalk Edge Gateway to help simplify and accelerate IT/OT convergence. FactoryTalk Edge Gateway is designed to help enrich OT data with more critical context at the edge, as well as to deliver it in a more flexible common information model to IT applications, which helps industrial enterprises to derive added critical insights that can help them increase their productivity and profitability.
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway is a foundation of a broader edge platform offering that will include elements of pre-built data analytics models, machine learning, tailored applications, and scalable computing. It is the latest addition to the FactoryTalk Analytics suite offering that addresses diverse industries and Industrial IoT (IIoT) use cases. FactoryTalk Edge Gateway is also a key pillar in Rockwell Automation’s strategy to help accelerate digital agility across the industrial devices to the cloud spectrum.
FactoryTalk Edge Gateway’s data management capabilities have been reported to help result in up to a 70 percent reduction in analytics data preparation efforts for data scientists or analysts, while providing higher quality OT data. The underlying common information data model is orchestrated by the Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Smart Object capability and can be more efficiently mapped to on-premises or cloud applications to generate predictive insights across the enterprise. FactoryTalk Edge Gateway is designed to integrate with major ecosystem solutions, such as Microsoft Azure and FactoryTalk InnovationSuite, powered by PTC, and a variety of big data, IIoT, and cloud applications.
