Siemens reported its Industrial Edge, described as a digitalization solution, adds machine-level data processing to automation devices and components. It locally preprocesses data that can be sent to the cloud or to IT infrastructure. This action cuts storage and transmission costs and makes possible a range of descriptive, diagnostic and predictive applications, Siemens reported.
The company described the solution as closing the gap between local data processing and cloud-based data processing.
Separately, Siemens released the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) Portal V16 for software development and testing. The portal’s project server is designed to facilitate project revision, reporting, and archiving and commissioning. Siemens reported the server has no functional restrictions on organizing automation tasks on a device, object or function.
