The Purdue Model of Computer Integrated Manufacturing was published in 1990 as a reference for enterprise architecture – a hierarchical model for manufacturing automation that defines what type of equipment goes where what actions are supposed to happen at each level, and how machines and processes interact. Almost a decade later, the International Society of…

The ability to define data at the edge device is an enterprise challenge. Traditional industrial networks are designed to store data on-premise or within a centralized hub. Retrieving and analyzing data in real-time, at the edge device, requires specialized expertise. Fortunately, having a network partner like Cirrus Link Solutions, allows an enterprise to implement IIoT…
