Recent ARC research reveals that adoption of AI and the convergence of networking and security are major current drivers of the Industrial Ethernet Edge market. Manufacturers continue to evaluate and adopt AI tools and applications as vehicles for doing more with less, overcoming shortages of skilled workers, and achieving competitive advantage. Use of AI to enable automated and autonomous operations is a central tenet of these efforts. Sound security postures are a cornerstone of operational resilience given increased recognition of manufacturing as a primary target threat landscape and escalating regulatory requirements, resulting in the ongoing convergence of networking and security.
"Network infrastructure providers are increasingly embedding security features, including both traditional and next generation firewalls, into their offerings. These additions increasingly take the form of either embedded or container-enabled software. As the use of AI in manufacturing advances and computational ability accelerates, an increasing number of decentralized AI workloads are running on edge devices that reside closer to the data source rather than being processed in large data centers or in the cloud. Increased availability of smaller compact language models will accelerate this trend. This strategy has advantages in areas such as latency, cost, power, and security,” according to Chantal Polsonetti, Vice President and key author of ARC's Industrial Ethernet Edge Gateways Market Research.
