The Rise of The Industrial Edge

Edge computing is the processing data present near the edge of the network where the data is usually generated and consumed. This equates to the fact that you have a high-speed correlation in real-time, which enables businesses to garner meaningful insights, create personalised experiences and help make crucial decisions.

It comes with excellent bandwidth link and faster response time, which drive many organisations to choose edge computing. If you are planning to use it, then make sure your place has limited network connectivity to cloud services, computing, analytics and storage. It is one of the best choices you can make if you need instantaneous data processing for real-time decision making, without having to send the data to the cloud-first.

Let us understand how Edge has been assisting some of the early adopters:

 

  • Keeping retail in mind, what holds a lot of significance is being open to business and being able to transact. With Edge, you can deliver a more efficient customer experience, operational excellence, better supply chain and inventory optimisation.
  • In the education field, Edge is creating an immersive learning experience for students and helping them overcome the hurdles faced during online learning.
  • In the healthcare sector, Edge is facilitating access to timely information.

 

Business are already seeing multiple benefits with Edge

 

  • Drop-in IoT solution costs –if you locally manage the data, the need for cloud and network resources reduces.
  • It provides you with better opportunities to manage risk – the data is distributed; hence, the risk is also distributed. 
  • Leads to faster response time – as it minimises latency for consumers or customers enhances user/customer experience.
  • Now with local autonomy – intermittent connectivity to the cloud will no longer bring business to halt.
  • Bridging IT and OT – for instance, CCTV systems in a grocery store can be easily connected to edge computing, which allows the store to gather insights, like identifying hazards at the very moment and analysing customer behaviour.

 

In the end, if you are worried if it is sustainable then we have got you covered as APC by Schneider Electric is building a sustainable edge. If you want to know more about it, then join the live session on Virtual Innovation Day: Resilient Digital Transformation India, on 27th May. 

Interact with fellow thought leaders and recognised industry experts. Hear them as they address the challenges and talk about building a sustainable future in a new electric world. One that can be brought together through the connected and sustainable data centre in the cloud, and at the Edge.
