Edge computing provides local compute capability for shop-floor equipment or remote assets, creates an essential bridge between real-time data acquisition from mission-critical processes to the control center, cloud, or unified operations centers. Forward-thinking organizations employ edge computing to run human-machine interface (HMI), supervisory control and data acquisitions (SCADA) and distributed control system (DCS) applications with maximum reliability, enable advanced solutions such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). Edge computing also meets the requirements of converged operational technology/information technology (OT/IT) implementations.
Join industry expert Craig Resnick, Vice President, ARC Advisory Group, as he shares the top five reasons edge computing is essential for next-generation control. The session also provides crucial tips on how to identify key considerations for selecting the right edge platform for the organization.
