While digital twins are not a new thing, advances in Industrial IoT mean they’ve become truly accessible and cost-effective. The combination of the Advantech Edge and Cloud Intelligence approach and secure managed remote connectivity enabled by Arkessa creates a compelling IoT solution for Enterprise”
