"Our Edge based analytics installations are kept close to the point of consumption, to render real time aid in decision making for plant level stakeholders. At the same time, the periodic benchmarking and dashboarding for strategic decision making, that do not necessitate stringent response times and performance, are enabled over cloud. This gives our customers the freedom to harness a hybrid environment on functional-fit basis, while adequately addressing TCO, latency, security, connectivity, data ownership concerns."
