ClearBlade is excited to see our industry-leading Intelligent Assets software win the Artificial Intelligence: Enterprise Solution award from Compass Intelligence. Intelligent Assets continues to win multiple awards, across technology categories for its ease of use and ability to deliver an immediate positive impact to the bottom line. With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), Edge computing, and AI, ClearBlade recognized the need to deliver these technologies in a way that is immediately usable by the business. By building off our proven, industrial-grade IoT, Edge, and AI technology we created a simple, repeatable, and easily customizable solution that puts the power of these technologies into the hands of the business user and the operator. Intelligent Assets greatly reduces the time it takes to track and monitor any asset in the business and to access valuable data to build and operationalize AI models, enabling any data scientist to use their tools of choice.

A quiet race is going on to set up the infrastructure needed for the industrial Internet of Things (IoT). It is generally agreed that the cloud model won't work to manage sensor data in real time, so instead hardware and network providers are rushing to evolve their technologies and sign up industrial customers to pilot and early implementation initiatives in edge processing. Stage one of the race is well underway, with the current focus on enabling edge processing on hardware gateways located in the field (factories, workplaces, cities, farms and buildings). To do that, many are leveraging Dockerized containers (and Moore's Law) to do more powerful data processing. Once this infrastructure has a little more robustness behind it, introducing machine learning (ML) at the edge will spark a second wave of the race.
