What is cloud and cloud computing and how can you connect your industrial environment with the cloud? We explain how you can benefit from working cloud-based and present a few practical application possibilities.
Cloud and cloud computing
Cloud Computing refers to the access to information that is located in the Cloud, i.e. in a so-called virtual space. Companies that offer cloud services allow users to store their files and programs, instead of on their own local systems, on remote servers and then access all the data via the Internet. This means that the user does not have to be in a specific location to access their data. They can work completely remotely.
Industrial manufacturing and production
connected with the Cloud
Instead of keeping files or applications on a local system, cloud computing allows them to be stored in a remote database. Then, as long as an electronic device has access to the Internet, it also has access to the data and the programs that run it. Cloud computing is used in industrial environments for reasons of cost savings, higher productivity, speed and efficiency, performance and security.
Advantages and benefits
Application in industry
The industry uses cloud computing in different ways. Some users keep all applications and data in the cloud, while others use a hybrid model where certain applications and data are stored on private local servers and others in the cloud. When it comes to service delivery, providers such as Amazon AWS Cloud, Azure IoT Hub, Siemens MindShpere or IBM Watson IoT Platform are among the big players in the enterprise cloud space:
