Introduction
In the era of Industry 4.0, smart factories rely on real-time data, AI-driven automation, and seamless cloud integration to optimize manufacturing operations. Edge platforms play a crucial role by enabling high-speed data collection, intelligent decision-making, and predictive analytics—right at the factory floor.
The Role of Edge Platforms in Smart Manufacturing
Edge technology bridges the gap between industrial machinery and digital intelligence. Unlike traditional cloud-based solutions, Edge computing processes data locally, reducing latency and enhancing real-time decision-making.
