Edge Computing in IIoT and Why It’s Important

Industrial IoT has been around for a while now and more and more organizations are signing up for this technological marvel. Edge computing has also been nothing but a blessing to IoT computing .  What Is Edge Computing? You probably are already familiar with edge computing as a concept, the smart watch you have on now, for instance.  Edge computing is all about the processing of data without the data having to be sent to a server or a processing hub. In simpler terms, it is the processing of data at the point closest to where the data was generated.  Let’s get technical: edge computing is an architecture that enables data handling, analysis and management at the periphery of the network or better yet, on IoT edge devices . The bottom-line is the data gets processed and analyzed as close to the source as possible. Edge computing wraps up reliability and local performance with minimal delays in one nice present, which is very important especially in IIoT settings. Layers o...
