Edge Computing

Technology Overview

Industrial Edge Computing brings data processing and analytics closer to the source—sensors, PLCs, controllers, and machines rather than relying solely on centralized data centers or the cloud. By handling data locally, edge computing reduces latency, improves reliability, and delivers faster response times for critical operations.

In manufacturing, energy, oil and gas, and transportation, edge computing enables predictive maintenance, quality control, safety monitoring, and process optimization. For example, analyzing equipment health data directly at the machine allows operators to detect anomalies and prevent failures before they cause downtime.

Edge computing also reduces the volume of data transmitted across cellular and other wireless networks by filtering and processing information locally. Only essential insights are sent upstream, lowering bandwidth consumption and reducing costs. This not only improves efficiency but also strengthens resilience—ensuring operations continue even during slow or disrupted external connectivity, while enhancing security by keeping sensitive data closer to its source.
