Successful Integration of Enterprise Data Requires a Thorough Edge Presence

By Leo Gergs | 09 May 2024 | IN-7336

Currently, up to several Petabytes (PB) of data are generated on a factory floor every year—but due to high fragmentation and rigid data silos, only a small fraction of that are actually used by manufacturers. With Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases and Large Language Models (LLMs) requiring a vast amount of data to be trained properly, the value of harmonizing, standardizing, and integrating data from various sources becomes apparent to a growing number of manufacturers. Consequently, data integration was a pivotal topic at this year’s Hannover Messe in April. This ABI Insight compares different approaches to integrating enterprise Operational Technology (OT) data—presented by software vendors on the show floor in Hannover—and highlight the importance of the on-premises edge in this context. Based on this analysis, this ABI Insight offers actionable recommendations for how different technology providers can increase their presence at the on-premises edge to embrace this new challenge.
