Summary

Industry 4.0 will transform asset-intensive industries by digitalizing processes and systems across the entire value chain. This transformation will have a major impact on the operational technology (OT) environment, where it is crucial that enterprises can manage the collection, integration, and analysis of all types of data from multiple systems, sensors, and assets. Edge computing creates a basis for new data-driven innovations and use cases that also fulfill the key industrial requirements on data sovereignty, cybersecurity, resilience, and latency. However, enterprises need a good strategy for decentralizing computing power to keep pace with the growing demand for real-time data analysis and automation. The drastic increase in data collection, processing, and analysis imposes a heavy workload on the infrastructure and creates the need for the future mobile edge-driven innovations and the strategic planning enabling these actions for a successful digital transformation.
