Edge Computing in Manufacturing
Edge computing refers to the allocation of computing workloads to the “edges” of a network–to devices and resources closer to network endpoints than a centralized data center or cloud. In manufacturing industry, advances in edge computing mean that manufacturing is returning to a decentralized model. Rather than concentrate data processing in a single location, decentralized systems like edge computing take advantage of the compute and storage capacity extant at nodes throughout the network. This type of structure is “decentralized” because computing is done where there are available and sufficient resources. With decentralized systems, proximity is a leading determinant of where processing occurs.
