Portwell drives the innovation behind factory automation, from robotization of labor, IIOT control and communication, to AOI machine vision imaging analysis that reduce production loss and increase overall efficiency. With the evolution of time and the relentless pursuit, we are finally closer to reaching Industrial 4.0 than at any time in history. As our lifestyle becomes more and more intelligent, the way people manufacture should also keep pace. Intelligent data communication has become an indispensable core in creating an automated factory.

The ability to interconnect machine to machine (M2M) and to harness all data into a single HMI management console in real-time is today’s challenge in cloud-based management control systems. The important decisions must be computed on the spot, and the extracted metadata is transferred back to the cloud for feedback into the system for productivity optimization. This mode of operation is the best example of Portwell’s Edge Computing.
