Description

The surge in industrial data and processing at the edge is a direct result of the growing digitalization of distributed assets on the plant floor. As a leader in Industrial Transformation (IX), your goal is to minimize latency for intelligent applications operating outside while also enhancing data processing capabilities at the edge. Recognizing the importance of data security, quality, and lifecycle management for local workloads and governance, you aim to oversee industrial edge devices in a streamlined, scalable, and secure manner. This necessitates establishing a robust foundation for a long-term edge computing strategy that not only ensures the success of edge deployments but also enables operational technology (OT) personnel to efficiently manage devices from any location. Additionally, it is essential to facilitate the effective deployment of applications on these devices, all while reinforcing your overall security posture to safeguard against potential risks. Ultimately, your commitment to advancing edge technology will drive innovation and operational excellence within the industrial sector.
