“Cisco Kinetic, a first-of-its kind IoT operations platform designed to unlock the power of data from the billions of connected devices being added to the network.”
With the rapid increase of data quantity, connectivity, computing ability, artificial intelligence, enhanced reality and continuous iteration of robot technology, to fully realize the investment returns, the effective use of Internet to generate data, more and more enterprises need a new intelligent network and the unity of all kinds of information sources and types of data networking platform.
随着数据量、连接性、计算能力的迅速提高，人工智能、增强现实和机器人技术的持续迭代，想要充分实现投资回报，有效利用物联网产生的数据，企业越来越需要一种能够统一各种各样的信息源和数据类型的新型智能网络和物联网平台。这就是Kinetic发布的初衷。
Kinetic has the ability to directly monitor and control the physical devices in the factory. Citing CISCO's own words, "we don't think other IT vendors have the ability to work and read data in the device level closest to the edge of the plant, like CISCO."
Kinetic不仅可以支持不同的网络协议，比如从Wi-Fi、以太网、低功耗广域网LPWAN中获取数据，还能从各种工业以太网和现场总线，比如Profinet，Modbus、CC-Link、EtherNet / IP…中获取数据。也就是说，Kinetic有能力直接监测和控制工厂中的物理设备，引用思科自己的话说，就是“我们不认为其他IT厂商有能力像思科这样，在工厂最贴近边缘计算的设备层中工作和读取数据”。 |
