Join Blaine Mathieu, CEO of Pratexo, and Alexis Pappas, ETx Advisory Board Member and Chief Innovation Officer at GuildOne, Inc., the Executive Director of the Canadian Blockchain Association for Women, and a Director of the Canadian Blockchain Consortium in a discussion about how Industry 4.0 is fundamentally broken without edge computing – or soon will be. You’ll hear about the latest advances in the space and receive insights and practical advice on how IoT and AI are increasingly being done on the edge with Pratexo and popular open-source technologies.
AI, IoT and edge computing technologies have the potential to revolutionize industrial system design across all sectors of the economy. Huge volumes of data are now being consumed at the edge to improve computational capacity, security, privacy, latency, and reduce high cloud-computing costs. However, high-throughput edge computing is extremely difficult to deploy at scale, leading to underutilized – and often canceled – projects post-POC. Where IoT systems are implemented, they are often siloed (by sensor/data type) and rely on centralized cloud networks for compute power.
As a result, capacity, security, and latency risks remain. This is why next-generation edge computing platforms are an Industry 4.0 game-changer, enabling industrial companies to benefit from easy-to-deploy edge computing, for the first time.
