Edge Analytics
Monitor Processes locally - evaluate Parameters globally
Edge Analytics applications allow processes to be monitored locally based on high-resolution measurement data. The measurement data is processed on an so-called edge device close to the process directly where it is generated and does not have to be transferred to higher-level systems such as cloud systems or databases. This is also not easily possible due to the amount of data, the available bandwidth and the interactions between OT and IT networks in general.
Acquire and automatically Process Data on the Edge Device
Edge Analytics combines many Advantages
- Use of application-specific HW and SW
directly on the edge - Full process connectivity of ibaPDA
- Processing measurement data direct on the edge
without transferring data to cloud systems - Results from edge analytics are available in real time
- Continuous monitoring and alarming based on
configurable limits and calculated results - Local storage of measurement data
- Interfaces for transferring key values
to arbitrary higher-level systems - Global evaluation of edge analytics
results for long-term analysis
Edge Devices
The Edge Device can be ibaDAQ or ibaDAQ-C. The acquisition of sensor and control data is done with ibaPDA with the comprehensive process connectivity of the iba system. The measured data are available as raw data and form the basis for application-specific calculations of characteristic values (such as ibaAnalyzer, ibaInSpectra or ibaInCycle).
Neben der ibaDAQ-Familie können auch die Zentralstationen des iba-Modularsystems für applikationsspezifische Berechnungen zusammen mit den I/O-Baugruppen des iba-Modularsystems als „Edge Device“ eingesetzt werden. Damit können Anwendungen wie z.B. Power Quality und Condition Monitoring effizient realisiert werden.
