“Change, you know, has a subtle quality. It comes upon you quietly. It creeps, and you continue to pleasantly operate based on old and comfortable assumptions and premises until suddenly, change explodes opportunity in front of you. And you are totally unequipped to deal with it because your ways of thinking, your concepts, your techniques, are all geared to an age that is no more!” - Author Unknown

At points in our lives, we encounter things or experiences that strongly impact – and even alter the way we act, the way we think our choices and preferences. Whether we see them coming or are taken by surprise, in hindsight we realize that these “change agents” led us to a way of thinking or doing something that might have otherwise passed us by. Without them, we’d be going about our lives as is.

In a previous post, I wrote about how the Edge and edge devices are contributing to a significant shift in the way we are acquiring information, interacting with it, and making decisions.

Continuing this theme, this evolution has been enabled, in large part, by rapid advances in lower-cost controllers, open source software, powerful processors -and the world of IoT. This combination is also changing our BAS landscape to support a decentralized architecture where analytic processing can be done at the edge. This evolution is also changing the execution of analytics and machine learning's location.

Here is another JENEsys Edge 534 and Onyxx XM 34IO in their new home - a winery to process low temp cooling, heating and pumping systems seamlessly. The system integrates boilers, chillers, VFDs and mixing systems.

Recently, IDC said that by next year 40% of the data we access will be stored, processed, analyzed, and acted upon, close to, or at the edge of a network. As I see it, this is due in part to the greater acceptance of the Internet of Things along with the availability of more computer processing power that is now available at lower cost, which in turn is enabling us to expand our reach to a range of devices that gather, analyze and react to data in a variety of applications. This combination has allowed us to move from just “connected devices” to connected devices that redistribute and process data and analytics independently at the Edge.

The Edge is contributing to a significant shift in the way we are acquiring information, interacting with it, and making decisions. It is enabling us to expand our reach to a new range of equipment and devices to deliver relevant outcomes.

Delighted that our JENEsys® Edge™ 534 IoT Controller was recognized for the Best Tech Innovation Intelligent Buildings award at Realcomm/iBCON 2017.
