Edge Computing for Industrial Automation
Edge Computing for Industrial Automation Edge computing brings data processing closer to machines on the factory floor. Instead of sending every sensor reading to a distant data center, local gateways and industrial PCs analyze data in real time. This reduces latency, lowers network traffic, and keeps critical control loops fast and predictable. What is edge computing? It means using small but capable devices near the data source to run analytics, run control logic, and make decisions. In industrial settings, you often see PLCs, edge gateways, and rugged servers that work alongside sensors, robots, and CNC machines. ...
