Aiming for advanced manufacturing through data collection and management

To accomplish a smart factory, it is necessary to utilize shop floor data in real time and effectively integrate with IT systems.
“Edge computing” that primarily processes information between shop floor and IT systems supports these activities.

Utilizing edge computing is essential for optimizing data processing on the shop floor.

Autonomous decentralized system with edge computing

  • Primary processing of the production site data can reduce traffic and ensure security when sending data to Cloud or IT systems
  • Real-time data analysis and feedback near the shop floor to improve efficiency in equipment maintenance and other operations
