Industrial Edge technology is fueling the digital transformation within manufacturing and processing sectors. By decentralizing computing power and analytics closer to the point of production, Industrial Edge is bridging the gap between cloud technology and on-site operations. This integration of operational technology (OT) with information technology (IT) is empowering industries with agility, efficiency, and innovation, fostering smarter manufacturing in a rapidly evolving digital industrial landscape.
In Frost & Sullivan’s latest digital industrial accelerators (DIAs) webinar, our growth experts and industry leaders came together to discuss: Exploring Industrial Edge to Enhance Automation Better than Your Competitors. Participants explored strategic approaches for leveraging Industrial Edge to gain competitive advantages through enhanced automation, agile operations, and targeted growth initiatives.
The following experts collaborated to generate transformative perspectives: Ken Forster, Executive Director at Momenta, Vatsal Shah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Litmus, and Karthik Sundaram, Growth Expert and Research Director at Frost & Sullivan.
