Mobile World Congress (MWC) is an operator show, run by the GSMA operator group, that has always looked and sounded like a handsets show, dominated by device makers. On Sunday night at MWC 2019, as Samsung and Huawei gathered the blogger world in cavernous...
IT company HPE and Continental, best known for making tyres, have revealed a new blockchain-based trading platform for vehicle data to help car makers monetise data and tie in with emerging traffic warning systems and parking solutions. The data-sharing mechanism will also improve driver safety, the...
Spanish car brand SEAT is using artificial intelligence (AI) from IBM Watson to bring information and guidance to city residents about their usage of cars, scooters, bikes and public transport.
Cars have, invariably, been a feature of Mobile World Congress 2019 this week. SEAT,...
UK based smart-city firm Telensa will run compute and analytics on its new streetlight solutions to insights from raw data in real time and reduce the need for cloud support. Telensa’s Multi-Sensor Pods will run on Qualcomm’s SDM845 processors, which make use of the...
Siemens made its case this week as the global leader for Industry 4.0 at a pre-show meet ahead of Hannover Messe 2019. The German industrial powerhouse suggested it has the form, momentum, and strategy to deliver industrial transformation on a grander scale than rival...
For industry, many critical applications cannot wait for artificial intelligence (AI) in the cloud. Instead, they demand insights and decisions at the edge -- closer to the source, where the real action is. A new report by Enterprise IoT Insights considers the balance enterprises are...
The mapping services firm will provide funds of more than $28 million to establish the new facility
Mapping and location services company HERE Technologies is establishing a new artificial intelligence research center.
The International Institute for Advanced Research in Artificial Intelligence (IARAI), to be located in...

As part of Enterprise IoT Insights' investigation into edge-cloud setups in industrial plants, we have unearthed a number of case studies showing how manufacturing companies and technology providers are collaborating to bring intelligence closer to the action.
Here, we present four examples from Software...
Abu Dhabi-based district cooling giant Tabreed has integrated California based OSIsoft’s big-data analytics system across its network of 74 district cooling plants to monitor, analyse, and improve performance and reliability.
Tabreed is now tracking around 30,000 data streams, or ‘tags’, via OSIsoft’s PI System, in...

“The governing factors are the facilities, the cost of downtime, and speed of product development.
"Cloud computing could hit a snag with these factors as facilities in lower cost areas may struggle with intermittent or costly...
Digi International has released a ruggedised LTE edge computing router for smart cities and utilities.
The Digi IX14 is designed for low-cost, low-bandwidth single-asset applications, its maker said. It contains an LTE modem with 3G fallback for North America; a version for Europe, with 3G/2G...
It’s not just bandwidth and latency that are dictating the migration of industrial machine intelligence to the edge of the network. There are benefits in terms of compliance, security, and corruption, as well.
There are others, besides, but let’s stick with the rule of three....
Quality assurance is a critical part of manufacturing; it’s just humans are not very good at it. Their faculties are not trained to pick out anomalies in rapid carousels of industrial assemblages. More than this, they just can’t do it.
Modern manufacturing, particularly of discrete...
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is poised to release a new product, the Edgeline 8000, in its family of ‘converged edge systems’. The 8000 will provide the most advanced edge capabilities of any of its Edgeline entries, targeted at industrial IoT operations.
Tom Bradicich, the company’s...
Norwegian real estate and tech firm Miris is building 20 data centres in business parks and residential areas in Norway during 2019 to support the smart city applications and services. The new facilities will recycle heat for local homes and businesses.
Miris will deploy network...
In simple terms, the prevailing wisdom is the more data, the better. More data equals better decisions, which equals better products, and more users. That is the theory, anyway.
The problem is the volume of processed data, at least from industrial setups, has been largely...
Nokia’s biggest opportunity, it explains, is to go beyond its traditional customer base to serve industrial markets directly, with private networking solutions. The total market for private LTE, and later private 5G, masts is potentially twice as large in straight volume terms as the...
For European aerospace company Airbus, the introduction of new digital tools into factory processes must be assured. New technology has to work straight away, and intuitively.
It should also deliver value. The process of connecting machines is not an end in itself, just a means...
AWS has launched a new open source machine learning project, Neo-AI, which makes the code for its key SageMaker Neo machine learning service available to developers for the first time. It is the second time in a few months the company has released source...
The Linux Foundation has started a new umbrella organisation, LF Edge, to establish an open, interoperable framework for edge computing that is independent of hardware, silicon, cloud, or operating system.
The launch “changes the IoT and edge computing landscape,” it said in a press note....
