Google Cloud Helps Manufacturers Bridge IT And OT Data With Manufacturing Data Engine And Cortex Framework
Google News, Tuesday, September 10th, 2024
Connecting operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) has long been a goal for manufacturers to drive greater insights across their operations.
Today, at the International Manufacturing Technology Show, Google Cloud is announcing an update to our Manufacturing Data Engine (MDE) to help bridge this divide and deliver greater productivity, innovation, and profitability to the industry.
We have now established initial technical foundation extensions for the Manufacturing Data Engine, Google Cloud's signature manufacturing solution, to integrate with Cortex Framework, a packaged solution of reference architectures, deployment accelerators, and integrated services designed to speed up cloud deployments. Connecting IT data from Cortex Framework to OT data in MDE will provide manufacturers a holistic view of their factory and business operations that's built on AI-enabled analytics and insights. This release will provide an initial set of features for MDE to support technical interoperability required for broader IT and OT use cases.
