Abstract:

"In this seminar, we will share insights and experiences with Siemens' Industrial Edge ecosystem, which bridges the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). The ecosystem comprises edge devices, edge management, and edge applications. We will begin with a brief introduction to edge technologies, followed by a deeper dive into various use cases we have tested while exploring the system. Our main focus will be on leveraging the Industrial Edge for device monitoring, particularly in the context of PLC monitoring, as a proof of concept. Additionally, we will touch upon other potential applications, such as virtual PLCs on Edge, and advanced control algorithms, such as Model Predictive Control (MPC) running on Edge devices. Finally, we will discuss how this technology could be applied in future accelerator control systems."
