FogHorn Unveils Lightning Edge Intelligence 2.0 to Support IIoT Deployments

FogHorn, a developer of edge intelligence software for industrial and commercial Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, recently announced the availability of its newly upgraded Lightning 2.0 software. The additions to the portfolio are designed to establish new industry benchmarks for edge-based machine learning (EdgeML), massively scalable edge deployment support, zero-touch sensor configuration, out-of-the-box multi-cloud integration, and next generation OT tools.

FogHorn’s Lightning product portfolio brings Edge to industrial IoT (IIoT) by embedding intelligence as close to the source of streaming sensor data as possible. The platform is designed to deliver low latency for onsite data processing and real-time analytics in addition to its ML and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.

“In 2018, we have seen a large volume of initial edge intelligence deployments experience great success across a range of industries and use cases,” says Pierce Owen, principal analyst, ABI Research. “Now, the task at hand is to efficiently deploy these projects at large scale. This latest release from FogHorn focused on going from pilot to broad commercial roll out is well timed with the state of the market’s needs.”
