Edge computing: driving the future of manufacturing

Existing local and centralized cloud infrastructures cannot support the high computing needs of these powerful applications because they require low latency or data transfer delay to easily transport data and gain real-time access. To reduce latency and bandwidth usage and reduce costs, computing powers and processes need to be closer to the physical location of the data. Solution? Move computing power to local infrastructure on the “edge” of the network, rather than relying on remote data centers.
