A look at digital transformation using the cloud

Control Engineering

ML and artificial intelligence (AI) make the process easier and the cloud makes it possible to store large amounts of data. This end-state vision of the edge supports ingestion of both structured data (from sensors, process data, etc.) DX even extends to health, safety, and environmental management.
