Edge Computing System for Industrial Automation (ECIA)

• Edge Computing System: Edge computing refers to the practice of processing data closer to its source rather than relying solely on centralized data centers or cloud computing services. In an edge computing system, data processing and analysis are performed locally, at or near the source of data generation, which could be sensors, IoT devices, or other endpoints. Examples of edge computing applications include real-time monitoring and control systems in industrial automation, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and healthcare devices.

• Industrial Automation: Industrial automation involves the use of control systems, software, and technologies to automate industrial processes and tasks traditionally performed by humans. Industrial automation systems aim to improve efficiency, productivity, quality, and safety in manufacturing and production environments. Industrial automation is used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and energy production. It enables manufacturers to increase production rates, reduce labor costs, improve product quality, and adapt quickly to changing market demands.
