HANNOVER MESSE - FogHorn™ to Showcase “Edge Intelligence” Industrial IoT Solutions at HANNOVER MESSE 2016
Industrial IoT startup will feature its "End-to-End" industrial IoT solution from the edge (Fog computing) to the cloud (Microsoft Azure).
FogHorn Systems announced today that it is exhibiting its "intelligent edge" Industrial IoT software solutions at HANNOVER MESSE 2016 in Hannover, Germany. The company is co-exhibiting with Microsoft in the Digital Factory and is also one of the featured exhibitors of Industry 4.0 as part of the HANNOVER MESSE Guided Tours 2016.
FogHorn Systems will be co-exhibiting with Microsoft in the Digital Factory—Hall 7 C40. Last years fair attracted more than 220,000 attendees from around the world, and this year, President of the United States Barack Obama will join German Chancellor Angela Merkel to open the event.
FogHorns IoT platform brings real-time intelligence to the industrial edge with data ingestion and enrichment, analytics and applications that support predictive maintenance, yield management/asset utilization, anomaly detection and much more at the locations where data is generated. By maintaining a significant percentage of data-intensive operations at the edge of the network instead of processing everything in the cloud, companies can dramatically improve operations and work more effectively at the operation site.
"By 2020, more than 20 billion devices will be connected to the Internet [JG1] ," said King. "Companies that process, analyze, and store their IoT device data at the edge where it is actually generated, can make faster decisions and improve the efficiency of their operations."

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
