ENCLOSURES FEATURE


EDGE COMPUTING If areas of a production plant cannot be shut down while work is in progress, then it may be advisable to install pre-configured IT containers which are equipped with the required active IT components. Companies can therefore expand their IT capacities to


decentralised production sites quickly and safely using what are termed ‘edge’ data centres.


To set up an edge computing


infrastructure for Industry 4.0 initiatives, partners Rittal and iNNOVO Cloud offer turnkey IT module and container solutions.


These contain IT environments in sturdy


steel containers that house power distribution units, UPS, IT cooling systems, racks and, optionally, active components. This provides a quick and secure start to production, in locations across the world.
