Industries such as ports, mining, and manufacturing often struggle to extract value from real-time operational technology (OT) data to achieve their digitalization objectives. These newly launched applications leverage a range of enabling technologies—including machine and process control, video analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), environmental sensing, industrial connectivity, and network security—to address specific industry challenges. The Nokia MXIE platform provides a robust and secure edge computing foundation, allowing enterprises to seamlessly deploy these applications and unlock new efficiencies.
Six New Applications
- Prosys OPC UA Forge serves as a unified access point for collecting data from diverse industrial assets. Particularly beneficial for brownfield deployments, this application enables structured data organization using OPC UA information modeling, ensuring interoperability across different manufacturers and system generations.
- Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX OS, an industrial automation operating system running on MXIE, facilitates seamless machine integration, data visualization, process automation, and secure communication. When paired with Bosch Rexroth’s ctrlX CORE control platform, it enables real-time machine control.
- SwitchON DeepInspect utilizes high-precision AI models to minimize defects, lower inspection costs, and optimize manufacturing processes.
- Ipsotek VISuite enhances situational awareness with precise object tracking and AI-driven automation, improving worker safety and production monitoring.
- SmartCone’s HeatGuardian solution provides real-time worker heat stress monitoring, ensuring workplace safety even in challenging environmental conditions.
- The Nozomi Networks Platform, including Guardian sensors, is designed for industrial, commercial, and critical infrastructure environments. It leverages AI to provide real-time asset visibility, threat detection, and vulnerability management, minimizing cyber risks while enhancing operational resilience.
By adopting these applications, enterprises can leverage real-time insights to optimize operations, improve worker safety, and maintain compliance with sustainability and security standards.
Stephan Litjens, Vice President, Enterprise Campus Edge at Nokia, stated, “Enterprises require intelligent, secure, and scalable solutions to navigate the complexities of digital transformation and introduce use cases that will deliver concrete benefits. The expansion of industrial applications deployed on MXIE underscores Nokia’s commitment to fostering an open and interoperable industrial edge ecosystem. With our expanded portfolio of industrial edge applications, we are enabling businesses to accelerate their digitalization journey while ensuring quality, safety and security, efficiency, and sustainability.”
