It provides new features to reduce development effort, time to market and, ultimately, the total cost and business risk of developing edge computing solutions. "Edge Xpert 1.7 is another major step forward for IOTech and our vision of delivering openness and interoperability at the edge," said Keith Steele, IOTech founder and CEO. "The new tooling and device connectors that support industrial systems—and now also smart cameras and video equipment—mean our Edge Xpert customers can quickly develop innovative solutions. They can do this for a wide variety of exciting edge use cases, including computer vision inference." Edge Xpert 1.7 provides new tooling that helps simplify the onboarding of new devices and sensors onto the platform. A number of industrial-grade connectors have also been added, including EtherNet/IP, OPC-UA Publish/Subscribe, CANopen and REST-based devices. Another key capability of Edge Xpert 1.7 is its connectivity to smart IP cameras. A new IOTech connector supporting the ONVIF standard allows the platform to configure and control many cameras and pieces of video equipment.
