FactoryTalk Edge Gateway vs. Foghub vs. Infor IoT vs. SensorCloud Comparison Chart

Industrial data is generated in such volumes and high speeds that it’s difficult to capture accurately. Even if you could, its use is likely limited by lack of both context and consumability. With operational data locked in disparate devices or siloed in systems of record, data scientists expend significant effort on data preparation and are hard-pressed to extract actionable industrial performance insights. FactoryTalk® Edge Gateway™ software addresses these challenges, unlocking actionable plant and enterprise-level insights to accelerate IIoT digital transformation. It simplifies and automates the collection, contextualization, and organization of industrial equipment data across machines, devices and automation assets at the source itself—enabling high data integrity from the outset. It provides the right foundation to drive edge-to-cloud IT/OT convergence at the enterprise level so that everyone from the shop floor to the top floor can make smarter decisions.

Infor Internet of Things (IoT) delivers secure sensor data ingestion—at scale from anywhere. With Infor IoT, sensor data is synchronized with Infor CloudSuite™ EAM information, bringing deeper context into asset health monitoring. This contextual information drives better exception detection, workflows, reporting, data analytics, and machine learning. Infor IoT’s sensor readings are stored in the Infor Data Lake, allowing myriad possibilities for richer IoT data consumption. Device data can also be augmented with attributes and metadata that enable advanced search and device management capabilities. Monitor telemetry in near real-time with the rule engine, use device templates to simplify device configuration and onboarding, experience a portal architecture designed for scale and leverage a flexible condition and action rule editor.
