Relying on the cloud for critical factory control is like trying to drive a high-performance car with a 1-second delay.
It doesn’t work.
In industrial operations, milliseconds matter. When a safety sensor trips or a quality check fails, you cannot wait for a round-trip data request to a server hundreds of miles away.
This “lag” (latency) is the critical flaw in a “cloud-only” approach for smart manufacturing.
But what’s the alternative? How do you get the power of big data analytics without sacrificing real-time speed on the factory floor?
This week, I’m breaking down the architectural shift that solves this problem. Itโs not about replacing the cloud, but enhancing it.
Follow along if you want to achieve:
True millisecond-level response times.
Drastically lower data transmission costs.
A factory that stays online, even when the internet doesn’t.
