Overview

Smart infrastructure is key for adaptable industrial solutions that can grow with the applications and that allow automation at the optimal location in a factory. One key element is to enable the acquisition of data for automation in real-time virtually everywhere without flooding the infrastructure with unnecessary information.

Edge Gateways can convert protocols into each other and extract, filter and reconcile data. They are the key to make data from the factory accessible for automation and monitoring.

Because Gateways deal with information from many sources both the port scalability and the capability to manage high amounts of data is important. With the programmability that adapts the port count and with the heterogenous architecture that enables the right mix of optimized processors for your task, AMD adaptive SoCs are an ideal choice. And with all the data within reach it's also a good place for decision making for which machine learning can be used.
