It is the perfect blueprint for the future of industrial manufacturing. <\/p>\n<p>Industrial IT is traditionally centralized: Machines send all their sensor data to a huge &#8220;brain&#8221; (the cloud or server). There, an AI calculates, makes a decision and sends the command back to the production line. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Nature makes it smarter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the octopus, two thirds of the nerve cells are located directly in the arms. When an arm touches a crab, it does not first ask the central brain for permission. The mini-brain in the arm analyzes the signals from the suction cups and reacts in milliseconds. In nature, this time is the difference between life and death.   <\/p>\n<p>In your production via good part or scrap.<\/p>\n<h2>The problem: the cloud is too slow for production<\/h2>\n<p>If you send your machine data to a data center first, you lose the most valuable thing: time.<\/p>\n<p>By the time the signal arrives, is calculated and the command &#8220;Tool wear critical &#8211; stop immediately!&#8221; is sent back to the control system, the component has long since been ruined. This is no longer error prevention. This is highly digitized autopsy.  <\/p>\n<h2>EdgeBrain: The &#8220;arm brain&#8221; for your machine<\/h2>\n<p>This is exactly where EdgeBrain comes in. We say goodbye to the idea that all data must flow into the central brain and give your system its own reflexes. <\/p>\n<p>EdgeBrain is a compact industrial module that works on the principle of inline AI. It is installed directly in the data stream between the sensor and the controller. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What this means for your production:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Decisions in milliseconds:<\/strong> The FPGA chip analyzes up to 1,000 images or signals per second. It recognizes the smallest deviations as they happen &#8211; and reacts in real time. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Plug &amp; play in the brownfield:<\/strong> Like the octopus, EdgeBrain does not need a huge head. It uses highly specialized AI models that are often only a few kilobytes in size. In this way, it makes decades-old systems smart &#8211; without the need for a lengthy large-scale IT project.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>100 % data sovereignty:<\/strong> What the arm of the octopus knows, the ocean doesn&#8217;t have to know. Your sensitive production data never leaves your factory floor. No cloud obligation, no dependence on the servers of big tech giants.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Do it like the octopus<\/h2>\n<p>Move the intelligence to where the work is done. Stop sending data to the cloud just for reports and give your machines smart reflexes in real time. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ready for inline AI? Get to know EdgeBrain. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An octopus has three hearts, eight arms and nine brains.
