Edge intelligence and power control innovations
20 October 2025
AS PART of its vision for the Factory of the Future, at SPS Watlow will demonstrate how its Edge Process Management (EPM) Data platform and PowerNode controller enable manufacturers to simplify control architectures, improve process efficiency, and achieve smarter, data-driven production.

Central to Watlow’s vision for the Factory of the Future is a commitment to decarbonisation through the electrification of industrial heating. By replacing fossil fuel-based systems with advanced electric solutions, manufacturers can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions while enhancing process reliability and control.
At the centre of Watlow’s stand, visitors will discover EPM Data, a cutting-edge, data-centric, and distributed platform that connects machines, people, and processes. By bringing intelligence to the edge, where information is generated, EPM Data empowers operators to make faster and better-informed decisions while maintaining robust data integrity and cybersecurity.
EPM Data provides an integrated environment for data management and process visibility. With intuitive touchscreen HMIs, the platform supports real-time monitoring and control, helping manufacturers enhance efficiency and ensure compliance across regulated and industrial environments. Designed to support digital transformation, it combines modular I/O, a common configuration environment, and multi-protocol connectivity to integrate seamlessly across plant and enterprise networks.
