The Cloud-First Contradiction:

Why cloud architectures for manufacturing need edge solutions

In the manufacturing industry, adopting a cloud-first strategy is becoming imperative. However, relying solely on the cloud can lead to problems with latency, cybersecurity, connectivity and high costs. For this reason, it is crucial to combine the cloud-first strategy with edge solutions to ensure the best of both worlds: global governance, IT security, cloud-native technologies and scalability while maintaining low costs and high efficiency.

This Keynote at Produktionsleiter Forum shows how the integration of cloud and edge can improve your manufacturing processes. This includes topics such as:

• The benefits of a cloud-first strategy in manufacturing
• The dangers of relying solely on the cloud
• The role of edge solutions in improving manufacturing processes
• Use cases for combining cloud and edge solutions in manufacturing
