SMARTPM integrates in its MIC architecture of its MIC platform with high-performance Edge nodes developed within the framework of the ADIMERTZ project to strengthen data management and decision making capabilities..
SMARTPM is part of the consortium of seven companies participating in the ADIMERTZ project for the development of high-performance Edge Computing nodes connected in the industrial/enterprise environment.
The consortium, led by FAGOR ELECTRONICA, also includes Orona, GH Cranes & Components, EUN, ERREKA and Hettich. The consortium is also supported by several agents of the Basque Science, Technology and Innovation Network, such as IKERLAN, Orona EIC and Egile Innovative Solutions.
Development of a Highly Intelligent and Adaptive Edge platform.
The objective of the ADIMERTZ project is to develop hardware, software, tools and techniques that facilitate extending the automation levels of industrial systems based on AI, Edge computing and/or advanced control, ensuring self-management and support throughout the entire lifecycle of devices and systems.
The challenge facing the companies in the ADIMERTZ project is to overcome some of the limitations of current Edge systems, such as processing power, interoperability between different vendors and scalability, among others.
SMARTPM participates in the project based on its expertise in the development of intelligent process automation solutions with AI capabilities, and with the objective of integrating Edge capabilities in the architecture of its MIC platform. This will increase the robustness of the solution and the capacity to process information with higher response speed.
Edge Computing in Industry 4.0
Edge computing refers to the ability to process and analyze data in real time on devices and sensors located at the place where it originates. That is, as opposed to Cloud Computing, where data is centralized on a remote server and accessible via the internet, in Edge Computing data is physically hosted and processed close to where it originates and to the end user.
The industrial field has numerous control elements and systems (hardware and software) that must communicate with each other, as well as with other services and applications. The need to capture, process, communicate and act on information has grown exponentially with the progressive development of Industry 4.0.
The new paradigm of Edge Center Computing allows driving the quality of industrial processes to a new level and is feasible with current implementations of convergence between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT).
Among the most valuable benefits of edge computing in the industrial environment is the dramatic reduction in latency and the cost of transferring data across the network. In addition, edge computing can also improve system security by minimizing the amount of data transmitted across the network, which reduces the risk of data interception and compromise.
With the ADIMERTZ project we want to develop functional and flexible solutions for high-performance edge nodes, capable of running complex AI and Machine Learning algorithms and offering state-of-the-art connectivity.
