Rockwell Automation to Advance Industrial Intelligence Through Edge-based Generative AI with NVIDIA Nemotron

Rockwell Automation has announced a breakthrough in bringing generative AI directly to the industrial edge. Rockwell is introducing its integration of NVIDIA Nemotron Nano, a purpose-built small language model (SLM) optimized for FactoryTalk Design Studio and other Rockwell product workflows, marking a major step in real-time intelligence for industrial teams. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Rockwell is leveraging the open-source Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 model and NVIDIA NeMo to deliver an edge-based generative AI capability designed specifically for industrial environments. Nemotron Nano distillation techniques provide the foundation for an SLM that can run in edge environments with less space and power than a traditional data center. By fine-tuning the model with data used by FactoryTalk Design Studio Copilot, Rockwell is creating a solution that demonstrates new potential for industrial automation professionals.

ManuAuto: Efficient Power Monitoring at the Edge – Moxa’s DCI Solutions for Data Centers

As data centers grow in higher densities to support AI-enabled workloads and more complicated operations, keeping the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) at optimum is critical at this time. Downtime is never acceptable. Also, without being able to see electrical systems in real-time, such as substations, UPS, switchgear, and HVAC, failures will take place, and reaction times will be delayed. Newer generation data facilities will face more and more constant pressure to maintain low PUE alongside the increasing pressures of power consumption. Continuity of power depends on smart and resilient connectivity across data center infrastructure (DCI). All energy systems need to operate in concert for continuous operations. Moxa industrial-grade networking solutions keep data center power systems connected, efficient, and secured through reliable, secure, and scalable communications. Engineers can download the solution guide and success case for more information or meet with a solution expert to receive customized recommendations.
