ndustrial businesses across the board are using digital transformation to unlock new levels of efficiency. The main focus is often on big ticket items such as AI, next-generation automation, or


advanced machines. However, these all rely on devices at the edge of the network, where data originates. Intelligent edge devices positioned close to sensors, actuators and assets can enable real-time decision making and empower operators to solve issues before they lead to costly downtime.


ROBUST DATA Until recently, data was never connected to the cloud, so I/O systems were never designed with in-built cybersecurity.
