FactoryTalk Edge marries pre-validated hardware with software-as-a-solution (SaaS) designed to support manufacturers looking to apply Industrial-Internet-of-Things (IIOT) and advanced analytics in a consistent manner to achieve tangible business value.

Edge management enables you to address customer needs while maximising the potential value presented by IT/OT convergence. FactoryTalk Edge helps support and manage OT applications along with providing a consistent conduit of OT data to the cloud, where it can be stored and accessed with advanced services to create/train predictive models and provide the ability to close the loop with the control system.

Discover how the new Embedded Edge Compute expands the capabilities of Logix Controllers with modern and consistent workflows that bring IT/OT convergence to life.

The shift here is to place computing resources closer to the user or the device, at the “edge” of the network, rather than in a hyper scale cloud data center that might be many miles away in the “core” of the network. The edge computing approach is useful for use cases that involve time-sensitive and data-intensive applications as these applications can deliver near real-time performance by computing resources closer to the source of data generation. By keeping data local, you also achieve better security, privacy and data sovereignty.

Independent Cart Technology is a smart, affordable transport system specifically designed to move light loads quickly and efficiently. It outperforms traditional belt and chain conveyors for in-machine applications and for applications with demanding motion requirements, delivering new levels of process optimization and throughput. With linear synchronous motor (LSM) technology, the systems help manufacturers to achieve higher throughput and flexibility to run a variety of products through and between machines. The scalable nature of MagneMotion's LSM technology allows for the development of systems that handle payloads ranging from ounces to tons, in virtually any environment.

This new offering integrates into our existing control, safety and sensing solutions to help you safely transport products and heavy loads between machines and throughout a plant in a quicker and easier manner.
