Edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) let factories, warehouses, and industrial sites process sensor data in real time near the source — without full reliance on the cloud.
1. Why Edge Matters in Industry 4.0
Low latency, predictive machine analytics, and production anomaly detection require compute at edge gateways. Only relevant data is sent to the cloud for BI and long-term archiving.
2. Common Edge + IoT Architecture
- PLC, SCADA, and industrial sensors connect to edge gateways.
- MQTT, OPC-UA, and Modbus protocols for interoperability.
- Lightweight AI (TinyML) for vibration, temperature, and quality classification.
- Sync to hybrid cloud platforms when connectivity is available.
3. Phased Implementation Steps
Start with one critical production line, define OEE and downtime KPIs, then scale to multi-site. IT consultants help design architecture, OT/IT security, and ERP integration.
