Preserve the Process and Support It With Technology

When you have a process that works, you don't want to mess with it. You don't want to mess with quality, or consistency, or precision. However, if technology can improve those, you should embrace it. By harnessing automation, real-time analytics, and on-site compute, mature IT infrastructure enables manufacturers of all stripes to support and improve the processes they rely on.

Distributed Cloud Solutions: The Future of Manufacturing

The convergence of cloud and edge computing offers an unparalleled opportunity to mitigate business challenges and enhance operational efficiency. By combining the capabilities of both, manufacturers can overcome various challenges and unlock significant benefits. But all too often, for many manufacturers when it comes to remote sites, the cloud is simply too far away for systems of record and applications. Latency, bandwidth, cost, security, reliability, and compliance requirements mandate that data and applications stay as close to the remote work site, even if that means a less-than-hospitable environment for your supporting hardware. But the opportunity is too important to ignore.Expedient Edge is designed as a distributed cloud service that brings the power and flexibility of the cloud right to your remote manufacturing site.

Real World Ready.

Expedient Edge, a fully managed VMware-powered infrastructure, delivers high availability and performance to all your remote sites without adding more support burdens. Your workloads are at your remote sites for a reason. Expedient Edge gives you a cloud management plane without moving your workloads away from the users or critical functions they support.

Streamlined Processes and Improved Uptime in the Plant

By leveraging cloud and edge computing technologies effectively, manufacturers can improve productivity, drive innovation, optimize their supply chain, and gain a competitive edge in the manufacturing industry.

Operational Efficiency
Monitoring and Analytics
Effortless Uptime
Enhanced Security
Scalability and Flexibility

Data Management and Interoperabilty

Cloud and edge computing enable real-time data processing and analysis, leading to improved operational efficiency. Manufacturers can gather data from OT systems, process on ruggedized edge devices deployed throughout the production process, send it to the cloud for analysis, and receive actionable insights promptly. This helps optimize production schedules, reduce downtime, enhance equipment utilization, and streamline workflows.

Data Management and Interoperabilty

The Catalyst to Manufacturing Transformation

Many organizations intrigued by a cloud model at the 'edge' that turn to hyperscale cloud providers are oftentimes shocked at the barriers to entry. Optimizing the "edge" is an essential element of many organizations' digital transformation initiatives. But solutions are oftentimes too expensive, too complex, or too limited in functionality. At less than a 10th of the entry price of comparable offerings, yet packing the essential cloud service organizations seek, Expedient Edge promises to reshape the edge, unify OT (Operational Technology) and IT (Information Technology), and help organizations achieve their business outcomes. Expedient Edge is easy to procure, setup at scale, maintain and operate. Once powered-up and connected to the internet, Expedient Edge devices call-home to the world-class managed services of the Full-Stack Cloud Service Provider capabilities Expedient delivers.
