EdgeTI Recognized in the Gartner Hype Cycle for Digital Grid, 2024

$32B Global IT Services Analyst, Gartner® (NYSE: IT), Continues to Focus on Digital Twins Across Industries

Arlington, Virginia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 1, 2025) – Edge Total Intelligence Inc. (TSXV: CTRL) (OTCQB: UNFYF) (FSE: Q5i) (“edgeTI”, “Company”), a leading provider of real-time digital twin software, announces the Company was Recognized in the Gartner^® Hype Cycle for Digital Grid as a Sample Vendor in the Digital Twins category.

The report states, “The digital grid faces the challenge of managing rising renewable energy volumes while ensuring real-time interaction with generators and customers for operational resilience. This Hype Cycle provides utility CIOs with insights on technologies that improve the reliability of the digital grid.”

According to National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), “Distributed energy resources (DER) are small, modular, energy generation and storage technologies that provide electric capacity or energy where you need it. Typically producing less than 10 megawatts (MW) of power, DER systems can usually be sized to meet your particular needs and installed on site.”

“We are excited to be recognized as a Sample Vendor in the Digital Twins category in this report on the Digital Grid,” said Jim Barrett, CEO of edgeTI. “Energy systems and the management of them are being transformed as distributed energy resources, DERs, join their legacy counterparts. As a digital twin, the Company’s edgeCore software can visualize and bring dissimilar systems together and orchestrate their use of AI and Automation.”

edgeCore software unites and orchestrates real-time data and control systems from engineering (ET), opertional (OT), Customer (CT) and Information technology domains to reduce complexity and facilitate decisions while integrating with Zero Trust Security paradigms, like Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) security.

According to Gartner, “Operational systems are evolving from reactive dispatch to predictive and, in some limited cases, autonomous operations, enabled by software-defined assets and digital twins creating intelligent industrial assets. This evolution necessitates a holistic approach to integrating engineering technology (ET), IT, OT and CT to enhance interoperability within the ecosystem. The growing complexity underscores the importance of CPS security at the physical-asset level.”

“The Digital Grid opportunity for Digital Twins is interesting to our customers and integrators in the defense sector that address operational energy,” said Jim Barrett, CEO of edgeTI. “As a pioneer in creating real-time operations that blend legacy and digital innovations, we believe we can accelerate success and deliver value to the Digital Grid.”
