Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm that brings data processing and analysis closer to the source of data generation, rather than relying on centralized cloud or datacenter resources. It aims to address the limitations of traditional cloud computing, such as latency, bandwidth constraints, privacy concerns, and the need for real-time decision-making.
Edge computing finds applications across various industries, including manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, retail, agriculture, and digital cities. It empowers real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of processes.
