Today, industrial companies want to ingest, store, and analyze IoT data, closer to the point where data is generated to enable predictive maintenance, improve quality control, enhance worker safety, and more. Industrial companies can greatly benefit from the industrial edge’s ability to solve for use cases which require low latency, optimized bandwidth utilization, need for offline or autonomous operation, and adherence to regulatory guidelines. This whitepaper outlines the design considerations for industrial IoT architectures which use the industrial edge.
