Edge computing revolutionizes manufacturing operations for enhanced efficiency and continuous improvement. In this episode, guest moderator & Managing Editor Amanda Joshi talks with Stratus Technologies’ Andrew Hinz and Conperio Technology’s Ron Harrison about how edge computing supports Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solutions by reducing downtime and improving real-time data processing, agility and performance.
Their chat includes an overview of MESs and how edge computing in MES can help optimize industrial operations. Learn about the gap between HMI/SCADA and the enterprise/cloud and what to do about it. And hear case studies about how MES and the edge helped food & beverage and oil & gas firms.
