Living on the Edge. How manufacturers can thrive with edge computing for operational applications.

Are you data rich but knowledge poor? Large amounts of data are collected on the plant floor, but you need to pull it together and filter it to make decisions and improve operations. Emerson’s Jill Burdette, director of strategic accounts at Emerson Automation Solutions, and Thomas Hainzel, head of evolution and partnerships at Nokia, discuss how OT and IT are converging and how edge computing solutions can help optimize production, reduce scrap and improve uptime. They share how Emerson and Nokia are partnering to help customers meet new demands for greater digitalization and more computing power both in the cloud and on the plant floor.
