Introduction
We continue to see manufacturing plants and industrial OEMs function with disparate systems, data silos and limited computational infrastructure. The power of IT tools and technologies for the most part are still not being used as effectively in the OT world. The good news is that there is an increased emphasis on adoption of such IT technologies, with CLOUD being a major enabler of digital aspirations.
Cloud computing in industrial automation is enabling high availability, reliability, and tremendous compute power for effective decision-making by all the stakeholders in the value chain, be it plant engineers, system suppliers, system integrators, logistics providers, end customers, etc. More and more companies are considering cloud migration as a crucial step towards digitalization.
Why is Cloud Migration Required for Industries?
One of the primary purposes of cloud integration in industries is to synchronize data obtained from various sources for centralized and deeper analysis for performance enhancement and better efficiency of the assets and processes. A typical implementation of industrial cloud computing offers following benefits:
Compute Power
Cloud adoption in manufacturing industry offers huge economies of scale when it comes to leveraging powerful servers, databases, storage, and networking infrastructure. The scalability, flexibility, and high availability of secure computing infrastructure through the adoption of pay-as-you-go SaaS model provides an opportunity to streamline business processes and ultimately drive profitability.
Reduced Capex
Migrating the operational applications to cloud allows industries to save upfront costs and time spent on setting up their independent servers, software, and database systems. With the help of a potent cloud migration strategy, the OEMs and ISVs can design and integrate intelligent industrial solutions for the end-industries.
Enhanced Data Management
Cloud technologies help to integrate and consolidate data from multiple networks and systems. Single to hybrid cloud platforms allow managing heterogeneous large-scale data, eliminating data silos and improving data processing capabilities and response rates.
Data Security
Cloud platforms are built to provide a safe environment to store sensitive and confidential data. Cloud migration services providers like us provide both built-in tools and integrated third-party security solutions to ensure that the data is secure and accessible solely on a need-to-know basis.
Improved Plant Operations
Cloud computing in industrial automation offers a conducive environment for industries to adopt continuously evolving IT tools and technologies. The vast storage and processing capabilities of cloud allow the industrial supply chain partners to integrate IIoT solutions into the core offer.
