KNI IE Release 4 Notes
- Frank Zdarsky
Release Notes for the KNI Industrial Edge
Summary
The Industrial Edge blueprint addresses a common use case in manufacturing which is "predictive maintenance", the detection of anomalies in sensor data coming from production line servers to be able to schedule maintenance and avoid costly downtimes. Anomaly detection is based on machine learning inference on streaming sensor data.
The 3-node, highly-available factory edge clusters produced by this blueprint are manageble via a central management hub running Open Cluster Manager. The management hub cluster also hosts OpenDataHub, which allows streaming data mirrored from factory edge clusters to be stored in a data lake for re-training of machine learning models and deploying updated models back to the factory sites. OpenDataHub includes Jupyter Notebooks for data scientists to analyse data and work on models.
Akraino Release 4 is the first release this blueprint participates in.
