In 2013, the launch of Opto 22\u2019s groov box clearly positioned the company for developing industrial technology trends\u2014such as mobile HMI and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications at the edge of the network.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, a \u201cclear gravitation toward taking intelligence to the edge has developed,\u201d said Benson Hougland, vice president at Opto 22. He pointed out that this is a trend not just for IT, but for OT (operations technology) too.<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-block-70\" class=\"block block-block clearfix\"><\/section>\n<p>The move toward industrial edge computing \u201cfalls into what plant floor operators have been asking for,\u201d Hougland said. \u201cThey don&#8217;t want to have to send everything to the cloud or deal with IT just to collect and analyze data to improve operations. Edge computing is all about putting this capability into the hands of OT. It allows OT to participate in IIoT.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hougland explained that this is where tools like Opto 22\u2019s groov come in. \u201cIt gives OT simpler capabilities to participate in IIoT without having to have a deep knowledge of IT networks and databases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-dfp-native\" class=\"block block-dfp clearfix\">\n<div id=\"dfp-ad-native-wrapper\" class=\"dfp-tag-wrapper\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>Opto 22 recently became involved with the EdgeX Foundry as one of the organization\u2019s 50 founding members. The goal of EdgeX, a Linux Foundation open source project, is to build a common open framework for IoT edge computing\u2014which dovetails with the goals of the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and its IoT Solutions World Congress event, at which Opto 22 hosted its most recent exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>The IIC, through its hundreds of supplier and end user members, is focused on creating a framework and architecture to help align technology suppliers\u2019 development efforts and guide end users with a standardized process for IoT technology deployment. Similarly, the EdgeX Foundry is a community of technology companies coalescing around the idea of offering plug-and-play components\u2014ranging from connected devices and applications to sensors and services\u2014that can be combined to create secure, scalable IoT systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEdgeX is helping to facilitate this move toward industrial edge computing,\u201d Hougland said. \u201cTheir ideas around an open source framework for this are on point. That\u2019s why we\u2019re involved. Just as we were a founding member of OPC, we see EdgeX being in the right place at the right time too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hougland clarified that he does not expect EdgeX to replace OPC, saying that it\u2019s \u201canother approach that helps overcome some limitations of OPC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the EdgeX platform is designed to run on edge computing devices such as programmable automation controllers (PACs) and mobile HMIs\u2014two core areas of focus for Opto 22\u2014it\u2019s easy to understand Opto 22\u2019s interest in being part of the organization. Another EdgeX Foundry founding member, Dell, has contributed its Project FUSE source code under Apache 2.0 to seed the EdgeX Foundry project.Opto 22\u2019s support of EdgeX is currently being showcased through the use of Dell Edge gateways.<\/p>\n<p>Given that industrial devices don&#8217;t speak the language of IT computers, connecting these devices for IIoT applications requires an extra step. The partnership between Dell and Opto 22 is a good example of how this extra step can be facilitated through the use of Opto 22\u2019s SNAP I\/O, SNAP PACs and groov to convert industrial data for aggregation, analysis and transmission by the Dell Edge gateway.<\/p>\n<p>The inherent disconnect between IT and OT technologies is why partnerships are important to the development of industrial edge platforms. \u201cUltimately, it\u2019s all about that last inch of connectivity to the plant floor devices\u2014whether that device is a PLC, sensor or gateway,\u201d said Hougland. \u201cFrom our partnerships with IBM Watson to Amazon Web Services to Dell, the common theme is they all need access to the plant floor data\u2014which is where we come in. That\u2019s why the current focus of EdgeX is all about the drivers needed to deliver OT data. Because EdgeX uses a RESTful interface for southbound communications (i.e., those headed toward automation\/field level devices), that works perfectly with our PACs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just ahead of the IoT Solutions World Congress, Opto 22 was part of another edge computing-related announcement at Inductive Automation\u2019s Ignition Community Conference. This announcement spotlighted the upcoming availability of Ignition Edge Onboard on the groov box to give users a way to connect legacy devices that lack MQTT support to anMQTT message broker for IIoT applications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its history as a developer and supplier of industrial controls [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":801,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 -
