Edge devices process applications right on the machine, offloading them from controllers so they can focus on their actual control duties with low latency and a high level of determinism.
Data transfer from machines and systems directly to a cloud solution is often too resource-intensive, and the low latency required in industrial environments makes it infeasible. Edge computing combines the advantages of decentralized cloud architectures with those of a local network architecture and has become an established approach.
The data collected from machines and systems can be evaluated directly on the edge devices, displayed graphically and made available to a cloud. These devices ensure optimal transfer for particularly critical data and offer an additional option for flexible system design in complex applications.
