Making sure that a client’s solution is ready for demanding
long-term smart factory use
Innodisk provided an industrial-grade durable storage solution that prepared a client’s edge controllers for demanding long-term use in smart factories.
Introduction
Moving AI to the edge requires connectivity, adaptability, and longevity. These stringent requirements encouraged a U.S. manufacturer of edge controllers to approach Innodisk to find a suitable storage solution for smart factory applications. The two technical difficulties faced by the customer were guaranteeing long-term performance and enabling wide-temperature capabilities in harsh manufacturing settings.
Result
Innodisk’s flash storage solution was selected as the core storage device for the client’s edge controller, alleviating the client’s concerns about durability and longevity in harsh environments. By addressing the tough requirements with an industrial-grade SSD designed to operate for long periods in challenging conditions, Innodisk enabled the client to finalize its plug-and-play factory controller and start deploying it across smart factories.
