What is Edge Computing?

Edge Computing consists of processing data near its source rather than sending it to distant infrastructure. This approach reduces latency and optimizes bandwidth for real-time applications.

Key Business Challenges

Latency Reduction

Local data processing enables rapid industrial decisions, essential for production process optimization.

Bandwidth Optimization

By processing data locally at the Edge level, the amount of data that needs to be transmitted to centralized data centers is reduced, saving network resources.

Enhanced Security

Local retention of sensitive data reduces risks related to transmitting sensitive data over external networks, particularly critical in industrial environments.

Distributed Processing Capabilities

This architecture enables the distribution of data processing and analysis capabilities across multiple devices.

Seamless IoT Integration

Edge Computing facilitates the exploitation of sensors and connected devices for predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring.

Improved Resilience

Decentralized systems continue to operate locally even during network failures.
