PACK EXPO Connects Machine Builder sessions demonstrate approaches to dramatically reduce unplanned equipment downtime and enable product-as-a-service with less engineering effort
MAYNARD, Mass. — November 3, 2020 — Stratus Technologies, a global leader in simplified, protected, autonomous Edge Computing platforms, will demonstrate strategies for Machine Builders and Manufacturers to incorporate Edge Computing into their digital transformation roadmaps at PACK EXPO Connects from November 9-13, 2020.
During its demonstration sessions, Stratus will share how enterprises are incorporating Stratus ztC™ Edge into smart machines to reduce downtime, optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and provide virtualization to run multiple mission-critical applications in a single compute platform. In addition, Machine Builders will learn how to reduce engineering time for Industry 4.0 capabilities, lower maintenance costs, and offer embedded services towards product-as-a-service models for customers striving to achieve smart factories.
“In today’s data-driven operations where digital transformation and harnessing IIoT are fast becoming imperatives, the need for reliable, robust smart machines and equipment is foundational,” said Aric Prost, Senior Global Director of OEM at Stratus. “Machine Builders need Edge Computing platforms that meet their unique requirements and those of their customers. At PACK EXPO, Stratus will offer machine builders the necessary Edge Computing provisions to simplify, protect, and automate smart machines.”
Edge Computing for Smart Machines
Stratus will present four 15-minute ztC Edge demos, “Edge Computing for Smart Machines and Digital Transformation,” to educate attendees about how they can:
- Simplify operations by running multiple applications like HMI/SCADA, Historian, PLC programming, and MES on a single device using virtualization;
- Protect machines and increase OEE by using a Class I Division 2, purpose-built Edge Computing platform with built-in redundancy and security;
- Enhance operations by running machines remotely using mobile devices that deliver real-time information to the enterprise and cloud; and
- Increase revenue streams with embedded services and “as a service” capabilities that offer end-users cloud-based and on-premises service and support.
Demonstration dates and times include:
- November 9, 2020, 12:15 PM ET
- November 10, 2020, 2:30 PM ET
- November 11, 2020, 12:15 PM ET
- November 12, 2020, 2:15 PM ET
