Market trends and business perspectives
Elementary Robotics, a rapidly-growing AI vision startup, has unveiled what it claims is the first AI camera system for cloud-based inspection.
The new system, which combines software, deep learning AI, and camera systems make it “faster and easier” for manufacturers to use.
The company also appointed Monique Apter as EVP of sales and marketing and Milind Karnik as EVP of engineering. [Read more…] about Elementary Robotics unveils ‘industry’s first’ cloud-based AI camera system
Traditional manufacturing execution systems are deployed on a single machine that might be networked to a handful of terminals inside of a machine shop.
While this made sense in an era before widespread Internet adoption, it’s hopelessly dated today. Few people have the technology needed to turn their smart devices into antique telnet clients, and there are even less who would want to.
Cloud-based technology is a much better alternative, but adoption has been surprisingly slow. That’s causing many industry sectors to play a dizzyingly fast game of catch-up. [Read more…] about Why Manufacturers Should Consider Using a Cloud-based MES Platform
In a recent survey, industry insiders predicted over 80 percent of workloads will run in a public, private, or hybrid cloud by 2020.
This shift towards cloud computing is one of the key drivers of SD-WAN overtaking traditional telco services like MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) as the go-to WAN connectivity solution for enterprises.
However, enterprises also care about reliability and managed services, areas where SD-WAN solutions that only offer overlay functionality come up short. [Read more…] about Traditional telco services hamstring WAN agility. Is cloud-based SD-WAN the solution?
Upverter has upgraded its cloud-based printed circuit board design application and included an enhanced version of its so-called “Concierge”.
The PCB market is growing worldwide as more people take to designing and building their own machines using open-source hardware components.
Upverter, which was launched several years ago, has added something it calls “EE Concierge”, or Electrical Engineering Concierge Service, which essentially helps you to use the company’s application. [Read more…] about Upverter upgrades its printed circuit board design application
Cloud-based automation software can make BYOD a secure and practical option for businesses. This kind of capability offers a tempting possibility for many businesses, as Howard Williams, marketing director of digital engagement specialist Parker Software, explains
It might seem like they’ve been around forever, but smartphones have only been ubiquitous for the past five years.
Before that, devices such as Handspring’s innovative Palm Treo series (pictured above) were too far ahead of their time to take off.
The same rings true for bring your own device (BYOD), a concept that has existed for years but is only now able to be securely realised. [Read more…] about Bewildered by BYOD? Confused by cloud? Here’s a simple introduction
Honeywell says its new cloud-based IIoT service helps increase plant utilization and performance and avoid production interruptions
Honeywell UOP has launched a new software-based service designed to allow refiners and petrochemical and gas processing plants to improve performance.
Honeywell UOP’s new Connected Performance Services (CPS) business leverages the Industrial Internet of Things to tap Honeywell’s deep process knowledge, design expertise, and understanding of catalysis with next-generation software platforms from Honeywell Process Solutions, the leading provider of software-based solutions for the process industries.
Zak Alzein, vice president for CPS, says: “This cloud-enabled service makes plants smarter and more responsive.
“Problems that caused plants to be less efficient or less productive and that went undetected for weeks or months now can be resolved quickly and proactively, and decisions that used to take days now can be made in hours. For many plants, the avoidance of downtime and suboptimal performance, and better agility, can be worth millions of dollars per year.” [Read more…] about Honeywell launches industrial internet of things service to ‘improve plant performance’
