Forum Edge & Cloud Control 2022The speakers at a glance
For our Edge & Cloud Control Forum on May 17, 2022, we have been able to attract renowned experts. Representatives from IBM, Siemens, the OPC Foundation and Gaia-X will shed light on developments in data handling for industrial applications - from the edge to the cloud.
The large-scale European digital project GAIA-X was launched on October 29, 2019. The aim of the project is to create many small, geographically distributed edge data centers with an open cloud connection that will enable a new class of industrial applications. Ultimately, one of the major goals of the GAIA-X project is to break up the rigid structures on the cloud market and restore users' digital sovereignty and trust in digital infrastructures in Germany and Europe. The aim is to offer the possibility of orchestrating cloud applications across providers and thus combining the different features of the providers individually and appropriately. The end result should be an efficient, high-performance multi-provider system that is transparent and verifiable.
But what does this mean for suppliers of industrial automation technology and ultimately their customers? What challenges do companies have to prepare for today and what opportunities will arise for them? These are the questions at the heart of "Gaia-X - What lies ahead for automation and machine builders?" by Thomas Hahn, Siemens.
