Edge Devices in OT
Over the past decade, OT edge devices have grown from niche applications to widespread adoption. Edge devices are now integral components within all IIoT-enabled OT infrastructures. Devices such as monitors, sensors, scanners, and converters are being used to connect disparate networks and to translate protocols. Edge-native AI is the next evolution in OT device optimization.
Escalating Requirements
Industry 4.0 combined with continued developments within IIoT (industrial internet of things), are creating new demands on the functions of OT edge devices. New requirements include:
- Edge-based intelligence
- Deeper observability
- Faster Insights
- Predictive analytics
- Improved security
- Reduced cost
Traditional solutions for edge device management will not meet the demands of the increasingly complex and diverse IIoT-enabled OT ecosystem.
Edge AI Optimizes OT Edge Devices
The volumes of edge device data are increasing at exponential rates. Processing massive volumes of data in the cloud is inefficient and cost prohibitive. MicroAI brings intelligence and computational power closer to the sources of data. The advantages of MicroAI’s Edge-native AI:
-
Autonomous Training
AI and ML algorithms are embedded and trained at the device level. Data is processed locally and autonomously instead of in the cloud.
-
Increased Speed
Critical data is processed locally, at the device, eliminating cloud transmission latency. Analytics produced in milliseconds.
-
Deeper Observability
Penetrating insights into the performance, health, and security of the edge device (ability to respond to conditions 400x faster than previously possible).
-
Predictive Insights
Recursive analytics that produce predictive insights into future behavior, maintenance requirements, and productivity. Insights that power the evolution to a predictive device management state.
-
Lower Cost
Reduced cloud dependence directly equates to massive reductions in data costs. Savings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
-
Improved Edge Device infrastructure
Device-specific and device ecosystem intelligence that enables quick identification and corrective action on devices that are performing below their normal state.
OT Edge Device Cyber-Security
IT infrastructure are under constant threat of Zero-day cyber-attack (Ransomware, DDoS, Phishing, Cloud Breach, etc.). These attacks can have far reaching and long-lasting implications.
-
Operational Disruption
Cyber intrusions can cripple the performance of edge devices for extended periods of time.
-
Loss of Data
Critical asset and operational data can be held for ransom or permanently lost.
-
Ecosystem Contamination
Cyber-attacks can expand to penetrate external targets (partners, suppliers, customers).
-
Financial Degradation
Large-scale attacks can degrade customer confidence, reduce revenue, damage market reputation, and expose the operator to legal risks.
MicroAI’s Edge-native AI solutions provide Zero-Trust cyber-security for IT edge devices:
-
Reduced Cloud Dependence
Edge-native security allows all critical data to be collected, synthesized, and analyzed locally. Critical IT edge device data is not exposed to cloud transmission, significantly reducing its exposure to cyber-attack.
-
Personalized Security
Ability to customize security protocols on a device-by-device level to accommodate specific conditions for individual devices or groups of devices.
-
Quicker Alerts and Mitigation
Localized, device-specific, security that provides quicker notification of security breach and faster activation of mitigation actions.
-
Predictive Security
Predictive analytics produce actionable insights into future threats. Enables a transition from reactive to predictive security.
-
Simple Integration
Quickly onboard and validate security protocols into devices within the IT ecosystem. Eliminates the need for expensive external hardware and costly data labeling.
