“This massive investment in grid resilience could be nothing more than the world's most expensive paperweight if the right technology is not put in place.”
“Cloud computing is a powerful concept, but success will come only if these key concepts and technologies can be used at the industrial edge.”
Amid the intricate dance of balancing power supply and demand, a compelling innovation emerges – the advent of Local Flexibility Markets.
CEO of Pratexo, Blaine Mathieu, and the President of Japanese integrator Nissin Systems, Yoshikazu Takeuchi, discuss the future of electrification systems in Japan.
The next generation of edge computing platforms enables the shipping industry to rapidly configure, provision, and maintain ship-based micro clouds that democratize ship data and truly accelerate powerful applications. Imagine if an ‘iPhone’ existed, focused on the digital transformation of the shipping industry. Instead of sitting in your pocket, the smart phone manages [...]
Over the last 40 years (I started young!), I’ve been lucky enough to have seen and been a part of many inflection points in the history of computing. To quickly recap: Starting my first software company as a teenager, at the dawn of the PC revolution. Working with companies as a Gartner analyst at [...]
By: Petter Graff, CTO - A better model for organizing compute nodes and logic for IoT solutions Edge, Mist, Fog, Cloud, etc. In the IoT world, we seem obsessed with the need to name the layer in which software runs. The most common definitions are: Edge compute (or sometimes called Mist compute) is where [...]
By: Dr. Frode Alirash-Roarson, Chief Scientist – New and emerging technologies are shaping a new type of power grid: a smart grid. Tomorrow’s smart grid will challenge the traditional value chain, leaving behind the aging infrastructure and taking advantage of digital technologies to identify and respond to changes in power consumption. The emerging smart [...]
