The siren song of the Industrial Public Cloud #
Big tech companies (Amazon's AWS and Microsoft's Azure) have invested billions in convincing the manufacturing industry that the "Internet of Things" (IoT) consists of connecting machines directly to the cloud to analyze them with Artificial Intelligence. However, on the actual shop floor, this architecture presents three fatal flaws: Latency, Unpredictable Costs, and Cybersecurity.

Descubre por qué iGromi OS es la alternativa superior a los sistemas SCADA y MES heredados de la industria.
The New Standard: Edge AI
The industry no longer buys expensive per-tag licences or depends on slow clouds. Modern plants process data locally at < 5ms with full autonomy, even with no internet.

The biggest risk of platforms like Azure IoT or AWS is exposure. Connecting [PLCs](/glosario#plc) to the internet via "Port Forwarding" so the cloud can read them is the leading cause of Industrial Ransomware.
iGromi OS artificial intelligence and databases live inside your LAN. This means they operate 100% offline. If a truck cuts the fiber optic street cable, your operators keep seeing Dashboards and the AI keeps alerting about anomalous vibrations. Our architecture only makes outbound connections to the corporate cloud as a backup, closing the door to any external hacker.
