Within the automation space, industrial computing can mean several things depending on the type of application and its processing requirements. A heavily parallel task such as deep learning requires much different computing requirements than a high-speed barcode reader with onboard processing, for instance. Luckily, several types of industrial computing architectures exist on the market today, from the traditional industrial PC to specialized processors designed for targeted applications.
Digital infrastructure lays the highway that makes digital transformation possible. Whether you are chasing the dream of a smart factory, Industry 4.0, industrial IOT, or software-defined manufacturing, it defines where data can go and how fast. There are many unsung heroes of digital infrastructure who make possible this digital highway. Are you one of them?

Modern production operations rely more on integrated data and computing power from the cloud. Yet, most legacy industrial solutions are built on siloed, proprietary, and generally inflexible systems that make retrieving data to send to the cloud for processing difficult. Adding to the complexity are new processes that require faster processing at the edge, which could mean former processes that were handled in the cloud now need to be managed closer to the devices producing the data.
