PTC relies on edge computing
At the 'LiveWorx 2016' user conference, PTC announced the expansion of its IoT technology platform: Edge computing technologies will now allow hybrid models for data processing.
At 'LiveWorx 2016' in Boston, PTC announced the expansion of its IoT platform to include real-time functions for edge computing - with a focus on industrial applications. Edge computing is now an integral part of the PTC IoT technology platform 'ThingWorx'. Sensor data from control systems can be recorded via 'Kepware' and combined with secondary sensor data from partners. According to PTC, the close integration with 'ThingWorx Analytics' enables the seamless transfer of sensor data into automated machine learning processes in order to detect anomalies and predict errors in real time. 'ThingWorx' is also intended to facilitate the development of web-based and mobile applications and also offers a range of runtime functions for the development of role-based user experiences. These user experiences can be further enhanced with 'Vuforia Studio' by enabling augmented and virtual reality experiences tailored to IoT use cases .
PTC also announced that it will be working with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and National Instruments (NI) to further optimize the performance of the PTC technology platform. HPE recently introduced new IoT solutions that also target edge computing. With the new solutions, PTC intends to support hybrid models in future, in which part of the data processing takes place on a cloud server and the other part on the end devices themselves located in or "at the edge" of the cloud.
