Edge Computing in Manufacturing

Edge computing in manufacturing is rapidly becoming the driving force behind smarter, faster decision-making on the factory floor. In an industry defined by speed, precision, and competitiveness, manufacturers must constantly seek smarter ways to operate. Traditional systems that rely heavily on cloud computing for data analysis are rapidly giving way to a more dynamic solution: edge computing in manufacturing. This approach brings data processing closer to where it is generated—on the factory floor itself.

But what exactly is edge computing, and how does it benefit manufacturers?
