Continue the grid modernization conversation at Red Hat Summit OT automation, industrial safety, predictive MLOps and more… The electric grid is no longer just a feat of physics and copper; it’s becoming a sophisticated data engine. For decades, substation secondary equipment, the relays and controllers that protect the expensive primary equipment, was seen as auxiliary. Today, it is the primary driver of grid innovation: if you can’t compute at the substation, you can’t innovate the grid.But here’s the challenge: modern digital secondary equipment must rely on modern IT or the innov

For years, the industrial sector has operated under the assumption that the core of a factory, the real-time control system, must remain a locked, proprietary environment. We've often accepted these restricted systems as a requirement for the deterministic performance mission-critical machinery demands. However, the existing industrial architecture is proving difficult to maintain as we move toward a modern environment defined by interconnected systems and the need for real-time data.Recent performance testing conducted by Red Hat and Intel provides the evidence needed to challenge the status
