Industrial controller cybersecurity best practices
Protecting industrial automation systems is easier when controllers offer built-in cybersecurity features.
Smartphone apps may connect to vulnerable cloud servers
Cybersecurity researchers at Georgia Tech and Ohio State have discovered vulnerabilities in the backend systems that feed content and advertising to smartphone applications through a network of cloud-based servers that most users probably don’t even know exists.
Not all IIoT platforms are created equal
Having the best Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) architecture with the most modern and state-of-the-art technology will not benefit any company unless it is tied to a specific purpose and business outcome.
Accelerate business outcomes using the cloud
Users need to be able to capture more precise insights at the edge and make real-time intelligent decisions in the cloud to make the Internet of Things (IoT) valuable.
Your questions answered: IIoT/Cloud series, Part 2: Edge, Fog and Cloud
Webinar participants outline evolving nature of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) elements and how users are applying the edge, fog and cloud in their manufacturing operations.
Electrical grid data cloaked in the cloud
A framework is being developed at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory that cloaks sensitive data, which allows grid operators to securely perform complex calculations in the cloud.
Embedded vision systems improve virtual reality
Embedded vision systems are being used to track human eye movements and determining, which is improving virtual reality (VR) applications.
Data visualization, monitoring remotely
Improving data visualization and implementing cloud-based remote access is also the first step to implementing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industrie 4.0 applications for said data visualization.
Plug and model simulation tools for automation software development suites
Simulation, modeling, and virtual commissioning are becoming easier to apply on different levels in automation. Interfaces to third-party simulation tools may be built into your software development suite already.
