Marshal your virtual resources
In a tight job market, finding outside partners is a global process
IIC, OpenFog groups to collaborate
Combined organization to focus on cloud computing and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) research.
Leveraging process simulation throughout the plant lifecycle
Using simulation for plant design, process automation system validation, and operator training will help optimize plant operations.
Three phases of industrial digital transformation
Manufacturing, packaging, and logistics companies are unlocking new potential through digital transformation with the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) and advanced analytics.
New software helps with industrial cloud, AI, microservices from IoT summit
Control Engineering China: Advantech announced its Internet of Things (IoT) platform architecture and solution ready packages (SRP) at the Advantech IoT summit in Suzhou, China.
Simulation model helps robots navigate more like humans
MIT researchers have now devised a way to help robots navigate environments more like humans do by letting robots determine how to reach a goal by exploring the environment, observing other agents, and exploiting what they’ve learned before in similar situations.
