Industrial data and processing at the edge is rapidly increasing due to the digitalization of distributed assets on the plant floor. As an Industrial Transformation (IX) leader, you strive to reduce latency for intelligent applications running outside data and process more data at the edge. You also understand that it is critical to have data security, quality and lifecycle management at the edge for local workloads and data governance practices. In short, you want to manage industrial edge devices in a simple, yet scalable and more secure manner.

That's why you must lay the groundwork for a long-term edge computing strategy that will maximize edge deployment success; empower OT personnel to manage all devices from anywhere; and manage the deployment of apps on those devices efficiently—while improving your security posture.

Onboard, configure and monitor devices at scale—effortlessly — from anywhere. No need to schedule OT administrator visits in remote plants. Now you can provision edge devices with one touch and conveniently configure preset profiles for similar equipment for consistent and more secure deployment. Once onboarded, you can manage your devices as fleets per your unique business needs and visualize the status of all edge devices in a granular manner from any cloud location. Best of all, you never lose control even when edge network connectivity is lost because productivity updates are automatic when network connectivity is restored.


Future-proof Your Business with Flexible App Deployment at the Edge

Solve evolving industrial edge use cases with a curated app marketplace where you can easily deploy public apps—including Rockwell Automation ParterNetwork™ Apps—or private apps within your organization. These edge apps can be deployed in virtual machines, as containers or as cluster-aware apps on edge devices as needed. You can easily share applications within the organization and achieve code-level consistency for apps at all edge devices or fleets. To maximize security and relevancy, the visibility of these public or private apps can be set for authorized users only.

With FactoryTalk Edge Manager, you can now seamlessly orchestrate intelligent applications at the distributed edge to gain access to critical insights, make real-time decisions and maximize operational efficiency.
