Ericsson sought to set itself apart from Nokia in its approach to industrial markets at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, as it made clear it will serve new industrial customers via its traditional operator customers.
Finnish vendor Nokia has stated it will go direct to...
US cybersecurity company Tenable has updates its Teneable.sc solution to include a single view of cyber risks across both information technology (IT) networks and operational technology (OT). It claims it is the first to achieve this “integrated” risk assessment of both IT and OT...
Dave Wright, president of the CBRS Alliance, wants to be clear: the 3.5 GHz shared spectrum band should not be considered an IoT band. “It's very much a multi-purpose band,” he says, really in response to persistent questioning about IoT scenarios for private operation...
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...
A number of pre-MWC announcements from variously-aligned IoT vendors, including Spanish and US IoT firms Libelium and Senet, have revealed a truth about the manic IoT sector and a sub-theme of this year’s summit: that the IoT market has gone unchecked, and its protagonists...
Eight further organisations have joined the Charter of Trust for cybersecurity, an initiative launched by Siemens last year to raise security in the internet of things (IoT) market. Membership of the charter now stands at 17. Siemens said the group’s first task is to...
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...

Companies already testing 5G in industrial environments are Worcester Bosch and Yamazaki Mazak
The U.K.’s first live 5G factory trials have been launched at the Worcestershire 5G Testbed, according to the U.K.-government-backed Worcestershire 5G Consortium.
The smart factory trials allow manufacturers to test the potential of...

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...
This article is taken from a longer report, Smart manufacturing: asset management, predictive maintenance, dynamic scheduling and other use cases, from August 2018.
The report tells the story of smart manufacturing in four chapters. The first two examine the expectations surrounding the IIoT movement (‘The...

“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...
Liberty Lake IoT provider Itron has started to certify devices under the Wi-SUN Field Area Network (FAN) 1.0 programme. It follows fellow Wi-SUN leader Cisco to have its products passed by the Wi-SUN Alliance.
Itron said its Bridge 5-WS product was the first to gain...
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...
Note, this is the second part in a feature about Nokia'snew industrial strategy. The first instalment can be found here.
Nokia’s latest results, which saw shares slip on a slow forecast for 2019 5G sales, present the company’s strategic re-organisation around three so-called ‘pillars’ –...
Ericsson has redefined its portfolio and vision for cellular IoT technologies in four categories, including two new segments for Broadband IoT and Industrial Automation IoT.
It said the objective of the exercise is to “outline the evolution” of IoT technologies, to encompass higher-powered LTE and...
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...
German company Siemens has opened a fully automated battery factory in Trondheim, in Norway. The facility will produce batteries for the marine sector, including for ships, rigs, and other offshore operations.
From unpacking the production parts to testing the final module, the factory is completely...
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...
