Given the hype about the IIoT, ARC asks if is it really time to focus on the Edge. The promise of edge computing in industrial environments means getting the right device data in near real-time to drive better decisions, and maybe even control industrial processes. For this to work, it means that the edge device, its embedded software, the gateways and cloud infrastructure must all be up and running correctly all the time.
Who is operating this way already? What triggers upgrades in the plant? How long does it take to get a secure and reliable distributed control and analytics system?
If you are involved in planning such a solution or are even further down the road, we’d like a quick take on your perspective. Results from this survey will be formulated into Stratus Technologies' inaugural IA Study and released by end of year. Your participation in this survey will allot you a copy of the final findings.
