EdgeX Foundry on Display at Hannover Messe
From April 23 – 27, more than 220,000 attendees, speakers and exhibitors from 75 countries will be at Hannover Messe, one of IIoT’s leading trade shows in Hannover, Germany, to share best practices, display new technology and discuss what the future looks like for industrial systems.
EdgeX Foundry will be on-site at the tradeshow with a full agenda of activities in our booth, Hall 6: B17. Members from Canonical, IOTech, ioTium, Dell/RSA, SoftwareAG and VMware will be demonstrating leading-edge industrial IoT solutions based on EdgeX. Experts from these member companies will also share keynote presentations about edge computing, smart buildings, the challenges of interoperability, open source ecosystems and more. Stay tuned here for the schedule.
Interactive demons at the EdgeX Foundry Booth, Hall 6: Stand B17 include:
Canonical: Canonical will be demoing a snapshot of the latest EdgeX development release called ‘California’ running as a fully-confined snap on Ubuntu Core 16. This will be demonstrated on an Arrow/Qualcomm Dragonboard 410c.
IOTech: IOTech will demonstrate the power of edge computing and the benefits of its commercial offering Edge Xpert – the Open IIoT Platform for Edge Applications. The ‘Edge Xpert’ will run on a 32-bit embedded ARM controller and integrate with a Modbus Smart Power Meter. It will showcase a live data visualization and edge-to-cloud integration between Edge Xpert and AWS IoT Platform.
ioTium: ioTium will present their edge-cloud infrastructure solutions. They will be showcasing ioTium OT-Edge; bridges edge and cloud computing by moving applications to data; allows mission critical data to reside on-premise in industrial and manufacturing environments. With ioTium OT-Edge, applications are moved – not the data. With a single click from ioTium’s cloud-based industrial app store, applications can now be deployed at scale, across the edge.
Dell/RSA: Dell/RSA will present the power of EdgeX as a secure IIoT platform enhanced with hardware platform from Dell and innovative security software from RSA Labs. Their demo will showcase the use of security analytics for monitoring and threat detection for the IoT Edge, secure communication using OPC-UA (an industrial automation protocol) and protection of credentials at the edge.
SoftwareAG: Cumulocity’s IoT Edge platform supports a distributed architecture, with dashboards, analytics rules, apps and integrations developed for the cloud transferable to edge deployments and Edge Real-time streaming analytics. Their demo is a small replica of a real use case where Cumulocity IoT Edge is being used to manage the operation of wind farms.
VMware: VMware will be showcasing how to take control of the Edge through VMware Pulse IoT Center and EdgeX technology with the aim to virtualize and isolate on the edge for enhanced security, manage heterogeneous edge gateways or systems, and integrate Industry protocols.
