Autonomous Objects

An autonomous object can operate, act, or make decisions independently without direct human intervention. They can be found in various fields, such as robotics, self-driving vehicles, and drones. These objects have various sensors, artificial intelligence, and computational capabilities.

Edge AI: Intelligent Spaces

Intelligent spaces are transforming our homes, workplaces, and cities by integrating smart devices, IoT technologies, and artificial intelligence. Intelligent spaces adapt to user behavior and preferences, while smart workplaces optimize productivity and comfort with automated systems. Edge AI processes distributed data across the computing continuum from devices to the cloud cost-effectively. As technology advances, intelligent spaces will continue to shape how we interact with our environment, but carefully considering privacy and ethical implications remains crucial.

IT and OT systems

OT systems are the backbone of many industrial processes and are responsible for managing and controlling physical devices, machinery, and industrial operations. OT systems undergo significant transformation through the convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology. This convergence enables seamless data exchange between OT systems, Autonomous objects, Intelligent Spaces, Augmented Humans and higher-level IT systems, leading to improved efficiency, real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced decision-making.

Augmented Humans

“Augmented Humans” are individuals who enhance their natural capabilities using technological advancements or external means, like wearable devices, implants, or other enhancements. These improvements can include enhanced senses, cognition, physical strength, or specialized skills, pushing the boundaries of human potential.
