Why Analyze and Contextualize Industrial IoT Data at the Edge

Organizations relying on cloud-based data processing often struggle with latency issues and bandwidth limitations, making it difficult and expensive to extract useful real-time insights. However, processing the large volume of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data at the edge has also been challenging due to operational gaps and security vulnerabilities in their distributed edge environments. These obstacles hinder predictive maintenance, operational efficiency, and downtime prevention. Without the ability to process and contextualize data effectively at the edge, while keeping AI models and applications up to date, businesses struggle to optimize processes, respond quickly to changing conditions, and maintain competitiveness in increasingly digital and automated industries.

How ZEDEDA Helps You Analyze and Contextualize Industrial IoT Data at the Edge

ZEDEDA addresses the challenges of industrial IoT data analysis by providing a comprehensive edge orchestration platform that simplifies the deployment, management, and security of applications at scale. The platform supports diverse workloads, including cloud native workloads virtual network functions, legacy applications, and custom business logic, on the same hardware, offering increased scalability and flexibility for data processing. ZEDEDA’s Zero Trust architecture enhances security by protecting edge environments from breaches, while also enabling Zero Touch provisioning and eliminating the need for onsite IT resources.

Improve Operational Efficiency at Scale

  • Reduce manual intervention and streamline automated workflows to simplify edge management and increase the reliability of real-time Industrial IoT insights.
  • Remotely manage and update all aspects of device and application operations, eliminating the need for on-site IT staff.
  • Enable a consistent operational model across virtual machines, containers, cloud native workloads, and Kubernetes to reduce management toil and abstract away diverse hardware.

Zero Trust Security

  • Safeguard Industrial IoT data in-flight and business data at rest with secure encryption, even in unsecured, remote locations.
  • Ensure only approved and validated applications can run on nodes and access shared data with application attestation.
  • Enforce granular, role-based access control (RBAC) for all operations, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access.
  • Address edge security challenges, including device tampering, theft, loss, unauthorized peripherals, and physical threats.

Real-Time IIoT Decisions

  • Adapt quickly to changing conditions with real-time insights.
  • Enable instant analysis of sensor data, providing actionable insights for faster decision-making without relying on the cloud.
  • Take advantage of advanced AI capability at the edge, including computer vision, predictive analytics, and predictive maintenance driven by IoT sensor data.
  • Sensitive data remains on-site, and encrypted reducing exposure to potential cyber threats during transmission.

Lower TCO

  • Reduce need for onsite IT resources, eliminate expensive cloud bandwidth usage, and lower ongoing maintenance costs at scale.
  • Achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO) at the edge with zero-touch deployment and remote management.
  • Leverage commodity hardware , including uCPE devices, to reduce hardware and maintenance costs.
