This in-depth market data research is split into two key modules: Market Growth Outlook and Competitive Analysis. Each of these modules is further configured into several sub-modules to meet the needs of executives as well as marketing, sales, and product development managers. All of these modules and sub-modules may be purchased as a bundle or separately. A brief description of these modules, sub-modules, and their use cases is included below.
The Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) Edge Compute Software Platforms market research delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast. The research is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.
Entry of Leading Industrial Automation Suppliers Adds Credibility to the OT Edge
ARC Advisory Group’s research on Industrial IoT Edge Compute Software Platforms reveals some major changes in the market. Entry of the leading industrial automation providers into the edge compute market is a harbinger of the trend toward emphasis on business outcomes enabled by domain-specific expertise. This contrasts with the early emphasis on infrastructure, protocol conversion, and device and data management that characterized the initial phases of market development. The emphasis on analytics and data-driven improvements at the edge coincides with increasing evidence of the increasingly software-defined nature of industrial automation and emphasis on software-driven performance improvements.
Industrial IoT Edge Compute Software Platforms Strategic Issues
In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Industrial IoT Edge Compute Software Platforms market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.
Future Proof Connectivity
Ensure that edge solutions of choice provide the requisite north and southbound connectivity consistent with current and anticipated installations. Consistent edge connectivity is critical for all data sources: hardware, sensors, devices, cloud, data visualization, analytics, security, management, etc. MQTT, OPC UA, RestAPIs, and other standard technologies are the primary means of achieving edge-to-cloud connectivity.
Recognize the Continuing Evolution of Edge Profiles and Pick the Right Solution for the Task
Edge definitions continue to evolve, and it is important to select a solution that meets your functional requirements. Depending on the supplier and offering, edge solutions are available for the enterprise edge, the DC edge, the Telco Edge, the distributed edge, the device edge, and the “far edge.” These solutions can differ broadly, particularly in terms of their compute requirements, performance latency, and ability to support industrial protocols and devices.
Supplier Core Competency and Applicability to End User Business
Enterprise, IT, OT, and other suppliers of all types are targeting the Industrial IoT edge due to its rich data fabric. End users need to understand what business their prospective edge suppliers are truly in, including where their core and historical competencies lie and what other market participants contribute to their solution. Understand which component of the edge solution controls the data, particularly as it relates to applications versus infrastructure.
