New AWS Quick Start for Softing edgeConnector Siemens Available

摘要

Softing Industrial launches an AWS Quick Start for its edgeConnector Siemens docker container application, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Quick Start automatically deploys edgeConnector Siemens and AWS IoT SiteWise in the AWS cloud. It demonstrates how to connect Siemens PLCs to the AWS cloud in a secure and scalable way. Customers are increasingly facing challenges in connecting the cloud to the edge in a secure way. "Many customers that we speak to, are hesitant when it comes to connecting their machines to cloud and using the Internet of Things" says Dr. Christopher Anhalt, VP Product Marketing at Softing Industrial Automation GmbH. Industrial customers lack experience in edge computing and do not have access to reference artifacts and best-practices resources for edge computing and the Internet of Things.
