Understanding Edge Computing Benefits

Edge Technology aims to enhance the Internet of Things (IoT) by utilizing 100,000 sensors over the next decade, focusing on data processing at the sensor level to manage the vast amounts of data generated daily. This technology improves bandwidth efficiency, enables real-time responses for applications like autonomous vehicles, and offers enhanced security by processing data locally rather than relying solely on cloud infrastructure. Key benefits include faster response times, cost-effectiveness, and reliable operations even with intermittent connectivity.

Edge Technology aims at making Internet Of Things (IOT) with 100 thousands of sensors

in next decade, with the increased usage and manipulation of large data it becomes
important to get used to this technology which refers to computing on sensor itself.

2019 is predicted as the year of edge technology and will remain so in the coming years.
In a variety of situations edge computing is deployed.
One is when IOT devices is centrally connected to cloud due to poor connectivity of
devices.
By the year 2020, there will be approximately 1.5 GB worth of data is generated per day.
With many devices connected to the internet and generating data, its not possible for
cloud alone to handle this huge data all by itself.
Edge can relate to data processing as well as local processing of the real time data.
The various edge components that can be counted upon are
* Data processing,
*Rule Engine,
*Local Database.
Cloud is more concerned with the big data processing and data warehousing.

Why Edge Computing?


 This technology increases the efficient usage of bandwidth by analyzing the data at
edges itself unlike the cloud which requires transfer of data from the IOT requiring
large bandwidth, making it useful to be used in remote location with minimum cost.
 It allows smart applications and devices to respond to data almost at the same time
which is important in terms of business ad self driving cars.
 It has the ability to process data without even putting on a public cloud, this ensures
full security.
 Data might get corrupt while on an extended network thus affecting the data reliability
for the industries to use.
 Edge computation of data provides a limitation to the use of cloud.

Edge vs Fog Computing:

Edge is more specific towards computational processes for the edge devices. So, fog
includes edge computing, but would also include the network for the processed data to its
final destination.

Real Life Application Of Edge Technology:

1. Autonomous Vehicles –
GE Digital partner, Intel, estimates that autonomous cars, with hundreds of on-vehicle
sensors, will generate 40 TB of data for every eight hours of driving. Therefore, wheels
—edge computing plays a dominant role. Sending all the data to cloud is unsafe and
impractical. The car immediately response to the events which has valuable data when
coupled into digital twin and performance of other cars of its class.
2. Fleet Management –
Let’s example considering a trucking company, the main goal is to combine and send
data from multiple operational data points like wheels, brakes, battery , etc to the
cloud. Health key operational components are analysed by the cloud. Thus,essentially
a fleet management solution encourages the vehicle to lower the cost.

5 Key Benefits Of Edge Computing:

1. Faster response time.


2. Security and Compliance.
3. Cost-effective Solution.
4. Reliable Operation With Intermittent Connectivity.
