Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IOT) offer manufacturers a way to increase efficiency, become more agile and prevent costly downtime. But, at the same, the prevalence of smart factory technologies has increased the need for edge computing in manufacturing. The challenge here is that Industry 4.0 edge computing often involves a patchwork of technologies coupled with hundreds of computing devices, which can become overwhelming to deploy, maintain, update and secure. For this reason, smart factory IOT solutions that simplify industrial IOT edge management are crucial for manufacturers who want to focus on doing what they do best — producing high-quality products.
Read on to explore the insight of expert Kangwarn Chinthammit, director and technology product manager with VMware by Broadcom, regarding:
- The need for edge computing in manufacturing;
- The advantages of real-time data processing at the edge;
- The importance of secure edge infrastructure for factories;
- And, the key features that smart factory IOT solutions should offer to tie it all together.
