Edge computing is proving to be invaluable for enabling manufacturers to take advantage of modern Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), factory of the future, and data analytics technologies. By processing data closer to the source, edge computing allows even remote facilities to overcome data transmission bottlenecks and latency issues, reduce bandwidth demands, eliminate time lags and improve cybersecurity.
That’s why nearly 30 percent of manufacturers have already deployed edge computing, and another 60 percent of decision-makers say they plan to roll out edge pilots within the next two years. But in the rush to take advantage of these benefits, it can be easy to overlook some critical factors in the deployment process that can turn an edge computing implementation into a costly nightmare. Here are a few tips and some pitfalls to avoid that will help make an edge computing implementation a success.
