SymphonyAI and Dell NativeEdge collaborate
The seamless integration of advanced technologies is pivotal for manufacturers aiming to enhance efficiency, predictability, and overall operational excellence for achieving improved business outcomes. The collaboration between Dell NativeEdge and SymphonyAI, aims to deliver on this by bringing together robust edge management and proven AI-driven operations.
Harnessing the power of edge computing and AI
According to a recent World Economic Forum report, manufacturers leveraging AI and data-driven decision-making have significantly improved efficiency across production, quality, sustainability, and maintenance, leading to cost reductions, higher ROI, and enhanced sustainability outcomes. Additionally, a McKinsey study found that AI-driven manufacturing efficiencies can reduce operational costs by up to 20% while boosting productivity[1].
This is possible with the convergence of IT and OT to modernize applications and workloads while delivering purpose-built AI applications with copilots leveraging predictive and generative AI enables industrial enterprises to process large volumes data at speed, make informed decisions, and optimize processes.
Dell NativeEdge serves as a comprehensive edge operations software platform, enabling businesses to securely scale and manage their edge infrastructure and applications across diverse locations. Its capabilities include zero-touch provisioning, centralized management, HA clustering at the edge, and an open design that supports multi-cloud connectivity, all fortified with zero-trust security measures.
Complementing SymphonyAI’s IRIS Foundry, an industrial DataOps platform that unifies and contextualizes IT and OT data, enabling AI-driven insights, scalable applications, and seamless cross-functional collaboration. Leveraging Compositional AI, predictive modeling, and industrial knowledge graphs, IRIS Foundry transforms data into actionable intelligence, accelerating digital transformation and empowering businesses to adopt purpose-built applications tailored to their operational needs and digital maturity.
A unified approach to industrial excellence
The combination of Dell NativeEdge and SymphonyAI IRIS Foundry presents a unified solution that addresses critical aspects of industrial operations:
- End-to-end industrial AI and edge integration: The combination covers the foundational steps of Dell NativeEdge’s seamless zero-touch deployment and centralized management for endpoints, to the advanced AI capabilities of IRIS Foundry’s leveraging advanced AI and physics-based models. This enables the extraction of rich industrial insights, leading to more informed decision-making.
- Unified enterprise-wide impact for smarter decision-making: This bridging of IT/OT silos facilitates the collaboration and seamless integration between IT and OT systems and teams, enhancing data accessibility and reducing reliance on isolated knowledge bases. The modernization of workloads from edge to multi-cloud environments drives key business outcomes with responsiveness, standardization and scalability.
