Edge analytics
Edge analytics refers to processing data close to where it is generated, such as sensors or devices, rather than sending it all to a centralized cloud or data center. This approach allows for faster decision-making, reduced data transmission costs, and increased privacy. For example, in a factory, sensors can analyze machine performance locally to detect issues promptly, enabling quick responses and minimizing downtime. Edge analytics enhances efficiency and responsiveness by enabling intelligent, real-time insights directly at the data source.
