Almost every thing is automated today, with computer systems performing numerous heavy lifting required to maintain industries across the globe running.
Technologies corresponding to artificial intelligence are especially attractive to corporations globally, showcasing the power of information automation and enormous language models. Even with its perks and recognition, delivering automation across industries could be a constant challenge for corporations, corresponding to ABB Group, recently within the news for acquiring AI-powered robot navigation company Sevensense, who proceed to innovate automation day by day.
“We’ve got automation systems that serves the critical infrastructure of our customers and their reliability, safety and efficiency have been the important thing to it,” said Vikas Maurya (pictured, right), global product line manager at ABB. “We’ve got at all times been ensuring that there’s a 24/7, reliable operation which continues to be there. We cannot stop the plant; it must run 24/7 and reliably.”
Maurya and Anders Trosten (left), software architect at ABB, spoke with theCUBE’s principal analyst Rob Strechay and host Savannah Peterson at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how ABB delivers cloud-powered automation to the sting, the challenges automation brings and the role of open-source software in revolutionary industrial operational technology.

Converging OT and IT at the sting
As an increasing number of devices are connected to the sting every day, innovation must occur there, simplifying and automating edge services and applications for each user and developer ease. At ABB, they’ve created Edgenius Operations Data Manager, a platform dedicated to the ability of the cloud to edge automation.
“Edgenius is somewhat sitting in the center and attempting to be a platform for enabling innovation at speed. That’s what we’re sort of trying to attain,” Maurya said. “We’re using edge technology, cloud technology, attempting to construct an entire app ecosystem where we are able to get this app coming seamlessly faster. And that’s where the IT infrastructure goes to be the important thing for us to sort of construct on.”
AI is one of the popular types of automation and technology today, making the massive query at most of those conferences: How is AI going to assist? As a forerunner of innovation, ABB is utilizing the technology in a mess of the way, including running AI models on the sting, in accordance with Trosten.
“It looks very promising, bringing it into the environment where we are able to use that without having to trouble with every thing else around,” he said. “That also makes these use cases easier to implement, faster to appreciate.”
