What Intelligent Edge hardware development topics would YOU like to see discussed?
jonmikeli Thanks for the question. I'm on the Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform (MCVP) team. We are working with several Automotive OEMs on putting together a Vehicle-Computer Architecture with Automotive Extensions. If you know much about the automotive space, you'll know that there is a lack of "standards' in this industry. We hope to provide more documented guidance on this in the near future.
The MCVP is also working with several Tier-1's to help them spec out hardware for the OEMs that would do more than just "meet the requirements". This would include helping them with how to support the many computational workloads within a vehicle, including, but not limited to, safety, infotainment, human interaction, productivity, virtual assistant, autonomous driving, etc. Some vehicles may only have some of these, other may more or all. Different loads require different solutions, so we recommend that there be different vehicle-computers to support the various workloads for that specific vehicle.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks again for asking.
John Spear Nice post request... I think from a industrial factory shop floor prospective there will be varying demands for EDGE hardware such as for example:-
1. Pure IoT EDGE gateway
2. But could be machine OPC UA to EDGE Gateway.. JSON, MQTT, to OPC UA Twin cloud side
3. EDGE box with protocol driver (machines without OPC UA...citing legacy world (what protocol converters does IoT RT/ EDGE have ?
4. Items 1,2,3 but also a machine might produce a file at the end of process cycle... like ***.txt, csv, XML, PDF, or imagines which might vary kb to 000's GM in size, so might need EDGE Blob to send file to cloud storage.
5. A machine might need items 1,2,3,4 but might also need to communicate with a company own Enterprise systems like SAP or MES with refined schemers.... or need to have bi-direction MES_2_machine & Machine_2_MES the later might need to community back to a machine PLC FB for instance...(more involved).
6. EDGE Machine Learning/ AI - Citing Docker contained APP
The above covers a landscape of EDGE device possible functional needs which has impact on hardware/ EDGE software/ Docker APP deployed....
Hope this gives some idea's, what do you think John Spear OlivierBloch ? Would be good to use these for an IoT Show post/ video in the future as real end user needs?
Cheers Car-Digital-Thread
- These are all good suggestions. For the IoT Show I am looking for more of the real life use cases, so if you have an actual project that's in development that covers some of these scenarios, let me know (you can DM me on twitter @obloch )
- Hi Olivier, I will pin you a message via Linkedin... as we are already connected there 🙂
