Forum Edge & Cloud Control 2022
Manage industrial data professionally
Centralized or decentralized data storage? The Edge & Cloud Control Forum on May 17 in Munich will provide answers to this fundamental question for the industry.
A fundamental question has been running through automation technology for around three decades and opinions are currently divided on the decision: Which is better - to store and process data centrally in the cloud or decentrally at the edge in production?
For automation and mechanical engineers, the OT experts par excellence, the situation is further complicated by the fact that topics such as cloud, edge and artificial intelligence have their origins in IT. This means that two worlds collide: collaboration is often characterized by misunderstandings and "talking past each other" when trying to discuss and solve problems together.
Forum Edge & Cloud Control 2022
The Edge & Cloud Control forum at Computer&Automation addresses precisely this issue: in automation and user jargon, it highlights the current trends and developments in data handling for industrial applications - from the edge to the cloud. The event brings OT and IT specialists together and promotes dialog.
The keynote
Prof. Dr. Matthias Spörrle from the University of Applied Management in Ismaning/Munich will give the keynote speech. In his presentation "AI in organizations", Prof. Dr. Spörrle will use current and exclusive study content to show how data provision influences the acceptance of AI applications in companies and other organizations.
Forum Edge & Cloud Control - What you can expect!
The Edge & Cloud Control Forum will take place on May 17 in Munich and is aimed at all those involved in the implementation of cloud and edge solutions for the manufacturing and process industry. These include, among others:
- Manufacturer of automation technology,
- Manufacturer of embedded hardware & software,
- Manufacturers of software for automation technology, process management, AI/machine learning, etc.,
- Users in mechanical and plant engineering,
- Digitization officers in mechanical and plant engineering, manufacturing industries, etc.,
- (production) process planners,
- anyone who is interested in edge & cloud control and is looking to exchange ideas with experts.
The Artificial Intelligence Forum will take place alongside the Edge & Cloud Control Forum.
