The emergence of IoT has made it possible to simply report data centrally on a Cloud. The Cloud allows the analysis of the data received, their processing and the management of local operations for alerts or control commands.
Today it has become necessary to go further in order to reduce communications or processing times with this centralized Cloud approach. In addition, instant sensor data simply reported is not necessarily enough to be able to make an automated decision from the Cloud. Sometimes even the volume of data remains too large to be able to put everything together in a logic of optimized costs or energy consumed.
It has therefore become necessary to work on a more local approach where AI will be able to analyze and process data locally very quickly and generate the feedback of useful data for macro processing and long-term studies.
