In today's competitive manufacturing world, relying on the cloud to process the massive amounts of data from factory floors just isn't fast enough. The delays, or latency, can mean the difference between catching a tiny defect on the production line and shipping a faulty product to a customer. This challenge of needing real-time insights is one I recently explored in an article for The New Stack.
In the piece, I dive into how edge computing is solving this problem by bringing data processing right to the factory floor. Instead of sending everything to a distant cloud, we can analyze information from sensors and cameras instantly. This allows for immediate quality control, smarter predictive maintenance to prevent machine failures, and ultimately, the creation of truly "smart" factories.
