quick-to-deploy solution to help manage edge computing infrastructure within challenging industrial and manufacturing environments .
" As Industry 4.0 and advanced automation technologies continue to drive transformation within industrial environments , IT must be deployed closer to the point of use , enabling increased productivity and efficiency ," said Rob McKernan , SVP , Secure Power Division , Schneider Electric , Europe .
ZEDEDA recently announced an integration with Agora that provides customers in the oil and gas and renewable energy industries with full lifecycle management capabilities for their edge deployments as part of Agora ’ s overall IoT solution portfolio . Agora positions itself as a digital innovation partner for oilfield operators ready to harness the full power of IoT and edge computing .
The ability to pull timely actionable insights from edge environments like oil rigs , wells , refineries , wind turbines and solar farms can potentially save millions of dollars by reducing equipment failure and safety issues , in addition to maintaining regulatory compliance .
However , these environments are often very remote locations and may have limited staff on site . Data-centre orchestration solutions are not applicable because of cost , footprint , security and scale requirements , plus they require IT skills not often available in the field . Addressing these challenges requires tools specifically architected to simplify managing and securing remote edge infrastructure at scale .
Zededa teams up with Agora ZEDEDA brings to the strategic partnership virtualisation , remote management and orchestration of Agora ’ s IoT edge stack and legacy software loads at scale while eliminating security vulnerabilities and maximising uptime , efficiency and ROI . energydigital . com 71
