LATEST NEWS: FogHorn and BearingPoint Announce Strategic Partnership

Edge Intelligence for Industrial and Commercial IoT

Within four years, the amount of data generated by tens of billions of industrial and commercial IoT devices will be massive enough to overwhelm the entire Internet. Our solution? Process, analyze and respond to IoT data right where it originates—at the edge of the network. At FogHorn, our “intelligent edge” software platform enables unprecedented levels of automation, operational efficiency, cost savings and much more.

What is Industrial IoT?

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) consists of interconnected industrial and commercial devices such as sensors, machinery, and computers.

The goal of IIoT is to enable greater device control, data management, machine automation, and operational efficiency across a distributed enterprise. Companies can apply fog computing at the edge to capture greenfield IIoT opportunities using real-time analytics and automated responses while also leveraging cloud computing for system-wide management and optimization.

What is Edge Intelligence?

Edge intelligence is a software-based solution based on fog computing which extends data processing and analytics closer to the edge where the IIoT devices reside.

Maintaining close proximity to the edge devices rather than sending all data to a distant centralized cloud, minimizes latency allowing for maximum performance, faster response times, and more effective maintenance and operational strategies. It also significantly reduces overall bandwidth requirements and the cost of managing widely distributed networks.

Why move to the edge?

Focusing IIoT operations at the edge reduces overall bandwidth requirements and enables immediate automated responses to time-sensitive conditions.

The industrial world is adding billions of new IIoT devices and collectively these devices generate many petabytes of data each day. Sending all of this data to the cloud is not only very cost prohibitive but it also creates a greater security risk. Operating at the edge ensures much faster response times, reduced risks, and lower overall costs.

The FogHorn Solution

FogHorn is a leader in the rapidly emerging domain of “edge intelligence.” By hosting high performance processing, analytics, and heterogeneous applications closer to control systems and physical sensors, FogHorn’s breakthrough solution enables edge intelligence for closed loop device optimization.

This brings big data and real-time processing onsite for industrial customers in manufacturing, oil and gas, power and water, transportation, mining, renewable energy, smart city, and more. FogHorn technology is embraced by the world’s leading Industrial Internet innovators and major players in cloud computing, high performance edge gateways, and IoT systems integration.
