We have seen especially during the last few months how model releases with billions of parameters requiring high processing power have been reproduced. On the other hand, there is also a growing trend that revolves around the ability to run lightweight models in real-time without the need for constant connection on low-power devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, and other embedded systems which is also revolutionizing the AI industry. This trend is known as TinyML.
Edge Computing enables industrial organizations to make decisions and take action in real-time, reduce latency, improve reliability, enhance security, reduce costs and enable remote monitoring and control. In this article, we explore how Edge Computing is becoming a reference technology for industrial companies that seek to digitize their operations.
