Industrial Edge offers users the opportunity to execute a wide range of descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytics applications. Cloud connectivity is used in conjunction with Edge apps, from third-party providers or from users themselves in an integrated hardware and software ecosystem for automation components.

Users have the opportunity to close the gap between conventional local data processing and Cloud-based data processing, depending on individual requirements. With Edge computing, large volumes of data can be processed locally almost in real time. A broad spectrum of applications for this include data processing, data visualization via web server, data transmission to the Cloud or IT infrastructure and fast innovation cycles for app development.

In addition, storage and transmission costs are reduced for users because large volumes of data are preprocessed, and only relevant data is then transmitted to a Cloud or IT infrastructure.
