Approaching the IIoT with Machine Learning and Edge Intelligence in Mind ENGINEERING.com

Machine learning capabilities are a significant asset in IIoT platforms, assisting in the collection and organization of data between multiple edge devices within the network. FogHorn Systems announced yesterday the availability of Lightning ML, an edge intelligence software platform for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which the company states is the industry's first IIoT software platform with integrated machine learning capabilities and universal combability across all major IIoT edge systems, i.e. operational technology (OT) systems and IoT sensors. "To date, machine learning is typically done in the cloud," said David C. King, CEO of FogHorn Systems. "FogHorn Lightning ML is designed to deliver the same powerful machine learning (ML) insights on a very tiny footprint, less than 256MB." Lightning ML users can execute proprietary, domain-specific ML models or choose from ML algorithms which plug into streaming data from assets and machines.
