It is the new version of SMARTEdge4.0, capable of transforming, through new functions, raw data into ready-to-use information already in the place where they are produced, i.e. on the machine, and of integrating enabling technologies such as augmented reality and advanced manufacturing, to offer new user experiences to all plant employees. 

Its peculiar architecture based on the Cloud Driven Edge Computing paradigm, as well as the integration of artificial intelligence algorithms allow the SMARTEgde4.0 NG to support a new generation of proximity digital services in various fields of application: predictive maintenance and on-condition, safety of nearby operators, quality control on the machine, manual processes assisted by collaborative robots.

These are value-added services capable of providing active and real-time support to production operators and maintenance workers of production assets, but also of offering valuable help in the training of young recruits and in updating already trained staff.
