Edge computing devices are devices deployed at the edge of the network with computing, storage, and communication capabilities that can process data in close proximity, reduce data transmission delays, and improve response time. Here are some common edge computing devices and their introduction:
1. Intelligent sensors
Function: real-time or timed collection of status information of equipment, environment and subsystems, and in situ realization of categorization, analysis and encapsulation of data.
Advantage: Reduce the time and resource consumption of data uploading and then calculating and analyzing, and improve the efficiency of system monitoring.
Application areas: smart home, industrial automation, environmental monitoring, etc.
2. Программируемый логический контроллер (ПЛК)
Function: Intelligent computer with the ability of programming, arithmetic, control, output, etc. Adaptive fusion design according to the needs of industrial production and industry applications.
Advantage: low latency and high efficiency at the edge end to manage and control equipment operation.
Application areas: industrial automation, manufacturing, etc.
3. Edge intelligent router
