Hi - We’ve developed some models in KNIME which we’d like to implement on the Shop Floor. This will require access to streaming data however as opposed to database with historical data we have utilised for development. On questioning my process control colleagues they ask if KNIME has OPC UA or Modbus TCP data integrator connections - so I guess that is my primary question. More generally however, what facility does KNIME have for this kind of Edge Computing scenario ? BTW, I note some forum discussion on this ~4 years ago, but without a conclusion I think…
It sounds like KNIME Edge might be helpful for you. Here’s a blog post from a couple years back introducing it:
And here’s the more extensive documentation: KNIME Edge User Guide
If needed, I can connect you to someone on our Customer Care team to go over the details at a deeper level.
Thanks Scott - I’m aware of Edge server cores and hope to discuss further soon. A deeper dive would be helpful I think as there are questions about how KNIME would receive and transmit data on the shop floor environment, hence my query about OPC UA and Modbus TCP….
Hi @SteveThornton, Nick here - nice to e-meet you! I am KNIME’s Customer Success Manager for your region, working closely with Charles. I’ve just sent you an email with additional information regarding KNIME Edge. Thank you for your insights and we look forward to discussing
