Cloud vs Edge Computing – Driving Predictive Maintenance, Remote Diagnostics & Device Safety

Cloud computing and edge computing are reshaping how industrial organizations manage connected devices, analyze data, and maintain operations. While both architectures process and store data, they differ significantly in where that processing occurs—centrally in the cloud or locally at the edge. Understanding these differences is critical for companies evaluating strategies for predictive maintenance, remote diagnostics, and safety. This paper compares cloud and edge computing, examines their role in modern predictive technologies, and outlines the safety and operational benefits of adopting the right approach.

Real-Time Comfort & Efficiency: How Edge AI Is Redefining Room Control

There’s an ‘upward’ theme in building operating challenges…energy costs are climbing, efficiency demands are up, occupants want more customization and doing more with less is the norm. Now is the time for building owners and facility managers to rethink their building performance–the right technology makes it possible. Cloud-based technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can help mitigate challenges to optimize HVAC systems and improve overall efficiency and building management operations. However, now AI “at the edge” building solutions embed intelligence right at the device level, eliminating the internet and data storage requirements needed for cloud solutions. For room controllers, in particular, this brings a new level of responsiveness and dependability to better meet decarbonization targets, comply with regulations, and meet occupant expectations.

6 Things Contractors Need to Know About the Security Kit for Wire Mesh Tray

The rapid expansion of data centers has brought about significant challenges in maintaining data security standards. According to Statistics Canada, recovery costs from cyber security incidents in 2023 were $2.1 billion, up from $600 million in 2021. This critical situation requires a more robust cable management design to protect data from being intercepted and cables from being tampered with. Currently, developing a secure solution is both time-consuming and expensive. It often requires contractors to transition from wire mesh to ladder tray or trough tray, a process that involves navigating multiple installation guidelines, purchasing more materials and managing all the materials on the job site.

Littelfuse: Solid-State Industrial Relays Quality Test Report

Solid-State Relays (SSRs) are a critical component in modern electrical & electronic systems, providing reliable switching capabilities for various applications from industrial automation to consumer electronics. When it comes to choosing the right solid-state relay for your application, it’s important to know the quality of the product you are purchasing. There are many low-cost products on the market and choosing based on cost instead of quality can be a costly mistake. Low-cost SSRs are often made by low-quality manufacturers who do not follow the strict standards and requirements and are not subjected to the rigorous testing and certification process. There are even many counterfeit SSRs on the market that claim to have the same specifications and performance as the quality brands. This report will explain the risks of choosing a low-quality SSR and share the test results of the Littelfuse products compared to two other suppliers.
