AI, Connectivity & Live SPC
A comprehensive, flexible IIoT platform to power connectivity and AI. The IIoT.Edge platform offers the best hybrid solution for AI, leveraging the intelligence of cloud solutions while running on the edge (on-premises).
IIoT.Edge Plaform
Our platform offers complete shop-floor connectivity to stream data from any equipment type to any IT system (cloud data lake / MES / ERP, etc.). Includes AI & Streaming Analytics on the edge for real-time processing (including live SPC).
By using the two edge solutions as components of iTAC's MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) solution, numerous use cases for advanced and digitized SMT manufacturing can be developed. For example, iTAC and Brose are implementing false call reduction at Automatic Optical Inspection (AOI) stations. The use of AI/ML models to analyze AOI data reduces the high instance of false calls by classifying whether an inspected PCB has real or pseudo errors.

In this short clip from our webinar "Cutting through the AI Hype - Practical guidelines for implementing AI in your electronics manufacturing facility", our resident expert, Mitch DeCaire clearly demonstrates how to use IIoT.Edge in your factory.
IIoT.Edge uses our Co-NECT platformto gather data from all SMT machines. Co-NECT has the industry largest library of machine interfaces and has been trusted by Jabil for 2000+ machines.
The platform offers an IIoT device library for PLCs, sensors, etc. Includes OPC UA, fieldbus, LoRa.
IIoT.Edge enables live data streamingfrom any shop-floor equipment to any higher-level system.
Effectively enables machine-to-machine and closed-loop solutionssuch as connections between SMT machines and other devices.

Streaming Analytics
Live data stream processing on the edgeallowing you to run your algorithm without having to upload anything to the cloud.
Fast response time permits real-time executionwithin line cycle time. This means IIoT.Edge doesn't create latency problems.
IIoT.Edge permits combination of multiple data streamsin order to correlate data across the entire process and scope.

Cloud Data Lake Integration
Integrates with any data lake platform
Enables data streaming to cloud for model training & long-term storage. Data can be used in a BI tool for in-depth analysis.
Optimizes cloud data streams to lower cost and streamline data lake.By filtering the data in IIoT.Edge, you'll be able to select which data really need to be sent to the cloud.
Enables central model management and downloads to specific edge(s). Centralized management in one place.
Leverages the ‘brain of the cloud’to enhance algorithms with less R&D, while keeping an optimized line cycle time.
MES/ERP/PLM Integration
Import from enterprise SW to add contextual info. Example: add currently-running product, serial number & work order info to machine data
Send output to MES/ERP/PLM/etc. – for traceability & quality management purposes.
