How the Intelligent Edge May Help Enable the Sustainable Factory of the Future
The anticipation for embedded world 2025 is already high. To bridge the waiting time until the conference programme is announced in spring, we take a look back at Fiona Treacy's great keynote speech at ew24.
How the Intelligent Edge May Help Enable the Sustainable Factory of the Future
Review of ew24 – Keynote Speech from Fiona Treacy
Overview of the presentation
Factory operations are being transformed thanks to data, with next-generation operational insight enabling dynamic production flows and hyper-agile, energy-efficient manufacturing. This session explores how digitizing, connecting, and interpreting data from the factory floor in real-time unlocks the power of the Intelligent Edge.
Fiona Treacy explains how to implement modular system design, demonstrates the impact of localized decision-making, and showcases the benefits of ubiquitous sensing, all in the context of increasing intelligence at the edge.
These innovations are central to the future of industrial system design and will be vital in creating energy-efficient production environments for a more sustainable future.
