Machine Learning Edge Management Platform

An operational technology (OT) software company that focuses on digital transformation is developing an automated device management solution on order to help users deploy trained machine learning algorithms to edge computers.

System Requirements

• Edge computer for condition monitoring
• Scaled application orchestration to the network edge
• API for integration into customer data and application management system

Advantech Solution The customer is using multiple types of X86 industrial PCs with pre-loaded Ubuntu for various machine-learning applications, depending on environment and computing power requirements. The customer specializes in machine learning algorithms, but needs a device management platform that is highly integrated with Advantech’s hardware in order to harness the full potential of the hardware. They also need to automate their machine learning processes. To solve these challenges, the customer implemented the Advantech Wise-DeviceOn solution with open APIs to interface with the existing data management system. In doing so, they were also able to automate machine-learning processes.
