Design for reliability reduces life cycle costs of industrial edge devices

12/05/2022

When sourcing industrial edge devices, cost is usually one of the most significant selection criteria. However, for those involved in the procurement process, it is important to look at costs holistically, including not only the unit purchase price, but also integration and deployment costs, and product support and maintenance costs over its life cycle.
