Digital transformation is the adoption and implementation of digital technology by an organization to create new or modify existing products, services and operations by translating business processes into a digital format. Businesses use a range of digital transformation tools, including cloud computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, process automation, CRM and ERP systems, cybersecurity, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Many of these tools run on local hardware at the edge of the network. Industrial PCs collect data from machines and sensors, run control and monitoring software, and send results to cloud platforms and analytics systems. An industrial PC used in this role needs a processor, memory and storage that can handle continuous data collection and software workloads.
