Edge Intelligence delivers the Real-time Enterprise
Emergence of the Intelligent Edge Network
The drive for more proactive and optimized business processes has led to the rapid adoption of sensor-based network devices on the shop-floor. These smart devices on the shop-floor are changing the legacy enterprise landscape towards a real-time intelligent services network at the edge. The enterprise is fast evolving into a distributed service oriented infrastructure driven by real-time collaboration and innovation in business process execution we call it Smart Infrastructures.
This new intelligence from Smart Infrastructures is distributed on the shop-floor where business operations happen, away from legacy centralized database and ERP architectures of the past. The OMNITROL Smart Infrastructure delivers complete business solutions and real-time operational visibility, Work-in-Process Traceability while enabling a powerful and collaborative EPCIS Global Track and Trace network.
The OMNITROL server appliance removes the deployment pains associated with integrating smart sensors to improve operational visibility while delivering powerful business solutions that:
Deliver quick Return-On-Investment (ROI)
Simplified and Rapid Deployment
Plant supportable solutions without requiring expensive consultants
Eliminates the need for Back-End Reengineering
Scalable Incrementally - deploy only what you need
Smart Infrastructures enable not only a new level of visibility, but also new opportunities for automation and decision making for business operations on the work-floor. Today, this new breed of real-time operational intelligence delivered through real-time edge applications are integrating this new generation of sensor and RFID technology to provide automatic visibility and traceability without manual intervention or changing existing business processes. This enhanced business operations led to real-time reconciliation at all stages of asset management, optimize asset and resource utilization, reduces inefficiencies and waste, while improving customer service right from the shop-floor and through the entire production and supply-chain process.
