for Industry 4.0 (Graphic: Business Wire)
The Digi IX40 cellular solution supports 5G connectivity and
edge intelligence, allowing enterprises to seamlessly connect
multiple machines (wired or wireless) in the most demanding
environments, optimizing the integration of cloud-delivered
operational technology (OT) services with information technology
(IT) to enable network-wide visibility, monitoring and control. Its
all-in-one design, powerful computing capabilities and integrated
memory also promote real-time data processing, remote monitoring
and precision analytics which are highly important for critical
applications in industrial automation, utilities, renewable energy,
oil and gas and digital signage.
Key use cases for this solution include:
- Industry 4.0:
- Manufacturing process automation
- Industrial automation and control
- Precision monitoring and control
- Condition-based monitoring
- Predictive maintenance
- Advanced robotics
- 5G cellular and fiber failover
- Utilities:
- Real-time monitoring and control
- Smart grid distribution automation
- Commercial and industrial metering
- Renewable energy
- Distributed Energy Resource Management System (DERMS)
- Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
- Oil and gas:
- Oil field drilling monitoring
- Pump station monitoring
- Smart cities:
- Digital signage
- Traffic management
“For businesses today — especially those leveraging Industry 4.0
technologies — edge computing is a must-have, providing the compute
power and real-time data processing for the most data intensive
applications,” said Vitaly Kurduban, Senior Product Manager of
industrial cellular solutions at Digi. “Digi is a long-standing
leader in industrial cellular technology. The new Digi IX40
solution helps our customers quickly and cost-effectively take
advantage of intelligence at the edge. This helps them make optimal
use of the power and speed of edge computing to enable real-time
processing, faster insights, enhanced security and reduced latency.
These are some of the key requirements of Industry 4.0
applications.”
Digi IX40 easily integrates Digi Remote Manager (Digi RM) for
rapid configuration, automated security monitoring and simplified
management. Digi RM — the cloud-based command center for IoT
deployments — gives businesses critical insights into their network
operations for more data-driven decisions. Likewise, Digi RM
supports secure terminal access for out-of-band management of edge
devices via serial ports and a command-line interface.
Key Digi IX40 features include:
- Global 5G and LTE support for public and private cellular
networks
- Integrated edge computing capabilities for applications
requiring edge intelligence and real-time processing
- The Digi Accelerated Linux operating system (DAL OS)
- Simplified configuration and management with Digi Remote
Manager
- FIPS 140-2 validation for encryption of sensitive data
- Ethernet, SFP, serial, I/O and Modbus bridging
- Powerful failover options, including fiber and 4G LTE for
ultimate redundancy
- Digi SureLink®, VRRP+ and dual SIMs for resilient cellular
connectivity
- GNSS receiver supporting GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo
- License-free enterprise software: VPN, firewall, logging and
authentication
- Rugged enclosure with DIN rail and shelf mounting options
- FirstNet Capable™ models to meet the demands of emergency
response
“Digi IX40 is a game changer for Industry 4.0,” said Kurduban.
“The combination of 5G bandwidth and edge computing makes it
possible to process data at the edge before transmitting it to the
cloud, which provides cost benefits and real-time response. The
higher data rates of 5G enable faster downloads and uploads for
data-intensive applications. By providing solutions that combine 5G
speed and low latency with reliable wireless connectivity and edge
intelligence, we are enabling organizations to deploy applications
that require instant interactions, such as autonomous vehicles in
manufacturing facilities. Simply put, Digi IX40 empowers
enterprises to explore a world of new opportunities.”
Unlike competitors, Digi IX40 is priced reasonably for its
advanced features and customized services. “We have packed this
solution with powerful computing and edge intelligence, while
making it affordable,” said Kurduban. “And Digi IX40 can grow in
scale and functionality to meet your needs, with Digi Remote
Manager enabling rapid configuration and deployment of additional
devices and Digi value added services providing additional
capabilities to augment your solution.”
Edge Computing with Digi Containers
Edge Computing can be defined simply as data processing that
takes place at the “edge” of the network, that is, in close
physical proximity to the machines and processes that IoT devices
are monitoring or controlling.
Digi Containers, a Digi value-added service, augments the Digi
IX40 solution to facilitate cost-effective applications via
lightweight Linux containers, giving businesses additional
flexibility and scalability for their Industry 4.0 initiatives.
Digi is proud to provide not only a Digi Containers solution for
customers who want to run their own custom applications or binaries
on Digi IX40, but we also provide vetted access to software from
leaders in the Industry 4.0, Networking 2.0, and industrial
protocol services. Here’s a list of some of Digi’s key technology
alliances for Industry 4.0 solutions, all of which are available
with Digi IX40 running Digi Containers:
- Binary Armor in-line cybersecurity for M2M communication
- Ignition Edge IIoT MQTT-enabled gateway for capturing,
processing, and visualizing critical data at the remote edge of the
network.
- Eximprod ES200 virtual Remote Terminal Unit (vRTU) solution for
multi-protocol communication enabling data extraction,
concentration, processing and storage
- Atsign sshnoports for zero-trust, secure, remote connectivity
to sites
- Tantalus Congruence.IQ (C.IQ) platform for operator-in-a-box
capabilities and any-to-any protocol conversions
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Digi on technology
integration that supports next-generation cybersecurity,” said Dan
Smith, Cyber Programs Director of Sierra Nevada Corporation’s
Binary Armor division. “We each bring complementary strengths to
the table, resulting in a powerhouse of capabilities for
customers.”
“Developing sophisticated, open-source Networking 2.0 technology
is our wheelhouse,” said Colin Constable, CTO and Co-Founder of
Atsign. “Collaborating with Digi’s team of experts to integrate our
software into their industrial cellular solutions is such a
win-win. It puts the ‘best of all worlds’ into the hands of IT/OT
managers in the most demanding environments, where zero-trust
security is paramount.”
Ultra-fast, ultra reliable networking for the Industry of
tomorrow
Digi WAN bonding, an add-on service available through Digi
Remote Manager, provides ultra-fast, ultra-reliable network
connectivity. Digi WAN Bonding enables users to centrally set up,
deploy, and manage the bonding of multiple WAN Internet connections
together on Digi IX40 for a combination of increased throughput
speeds, WAN smoothing, packet redundancy, and seamless failover for
always-on Internet connectivity. Digi WAN Bonding can scale to
hundreds or thousands of sites to ensure you are getting the most
robust connectivity for your entire fleet or network that is always
