New white paper outlines actions you can take for practical and cost-effective machine monitoring with edge devices.

Keeping machines running smoothly is at the heart of every industrial operation. Machine monitoring helps avoid downtime by providing real-time insights needed to catch problems early and keep equipment working.

Have you been tasked with an IIoT (industrial internet of things) or digital transformation initiative for your company? Ready to learn how edge devices can be a part of your solution?

New technology found in edge devices isn't just for new machines or greenfield systems. Edge devices can also help you get live production data from existing equipment (brownfield systems) to:

  • Improve production visibility
  • Help predict maintenance issues
  • Keep production operating smoothly
