Global automation and technology provider Emerson is joining the Linux Foundation’s Margo, an open-standard initiative designed to make edge applications, devices and orchestration software work together seamlessly across multi-vendor industrial automation environments. Emerson is the latest entrant to the initiative, joining companies such as ABB, Intel, Microsoft, Rockwell, Schneider, Siemens, ZEDEDA, and others.
As industries advance their digitalization and data strategies, they will encounter challenges at the edge due to diverse and multi-vendor devices, apps and orchestration environments that do not integrate seamlessly. The Margo initiative seeks to address these challenges through the creation of practical reference implementations, open standards and testing toolkits.
The Margo initiative complements Emerson’s Boundless Automation vision for a next-generation, modern automation architecture designed to break down data silos and enable computing power where it is best suited, whether that’s in the field, edge or cloud. The company hopes Margo will help customers develop their digital transformation strategies and realize the potential of emerging edge applications for AI, machine learning, and analytics at the edge.
The Margo project represents a significant industry collaboration to define mechanisms for interoperable orchestration of edge applications, workloads and devices. It plans to deliver the promise of edge interoperability through an open standard, reference implementation, and comprehensive compliance testing toolkit.
