Company brings deep legacy of driving industry
standards to Margo initiative enabling more flexible,
scalable automation for customers
ST.
LOUIS, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
automation and technology leader Emerson (NYSE: EMR) is
joining the Linux Foundation's Margo, a new open-standard
initiative designed to make edge applications, devices and
orchestration software work together seamlessly across multi-vendor
industrial automation environments.
As process and discrete manufacturers implement enhanced
digitalization, they encounter challenges at the edge due to
multi-vendor and multi-technology devices, apps and orchestration
environments that do not easily integrate. The Margo initiative
addresses these challenges through the creation of practical
reference implementation, open standards and testing toolkits.
This approach will help remove obstacles and simplify the
process of building, deploying, scaling and operating complex,
multi-vendor industrial edge environments, helping manufacturers of
all sizes build new and better digital operations or modernize
existing ones.
"The modern OT edge is the backbone of our next-generation
automation architecture, enabling the availability of data and
computing closest to where it is needed," said Peter Zornio, Emerson's chief technology
officer. "Successful implementation will require open edge
standards that will enable scalable, simplified and seamless
interoperability among applications, edge devices and orchestration
software – no matter the vendor technology.
"Emerson is pleased to join the Margo initiative to help create
a unified and cohesive edge management ecosystem. Our collective
progress will make it easier, faster and less costly for our
customers to develop digital transformation programs that realize
the full potential of AI, machine learning and analytics at the
edge."
The Margo initiative complements Emerson's Boundless Automation™
vision for a next-generation, modern automation architecture
designed to break down data silos and enable computing power where
it is best suited, whether that's in the field, edge or cloud.
Drawing its name from the Latin word for edge, Margo is
supported by some of the largest automation providers globally.
Emerson joins Margo as a steering member along with industry peers
to develop open and secure edge interoperability standards for
industrial automation ecosystems.
The Margo project represents a significant industry
collaboration to define mechanisms for interoperable orchestration
of edge applications, workloads and devices. It will deliver the
promise of interoperability through an open standard, reference
implementation, and comprehensive compliance testing toolkit. More
details on the project can be found at margo.org.
