Gartner's Emerging Technologies and Trends Impact Radar shows IT leaders where to capitalize on market opportunities. Its latest feature for 2023 points to EDGE AI as the next breakthrough technology. With the growing demand for real-time AI solutions and the need for decentralized data processing, AI at the Edge has been positioned as a critical technology this year.

Edge Computing enables industrial organizations to make decisions and take action in real-time, reduce latency, improve reliability, enhance security, reduce costs and enable remote monitoring and control. In this article, we explore how Edge Computing is becoming a reference technology for industrial companies that seek to digitize their operations.

Although much of the water infrastructures in place are dozens of years old, in recent times their processes have changed radically thanks to a large extent, to digital technology. Edge computing is one of those technologies that will change the shape of the water industry due to the speed and reliability it provides when modernizing this type of infrastructure.

The digitization of industry requires interoperability to enable the sharing of data and the automation of processes. We delve into how Edge Computing plays a critical role in achieving interoperability by enabling the processing of data at the source, rather than sending it to a centralized location, which can decrease latency, increase security, and improve the scalability of the system.

The rise of Industry 4.0, has brought a sheer amount of data. With the advent of IoT, automation, and advanced analytics, organizations are collecting and generating more data than ever. This data has the potential to revolutionize the way industries operate and improve decision-making. However, with the vast amount of data being generated, its crucial that organizations have the ability to effectively control and manage it.

Industrial servitization is a hot topic right now as new technologies emerge that harness real-time data. In an increasingly competitive market servitization is the way to open new business lines, improve customer loyalty and, in addition, comply with sustainability goals. Manufacturers can now make a profit from services by making their products last longer and avoid waste as much as possible. They can also recycle parts of broken products for reuse or recycle an integral part of these services.
