IIoT analytics – cloud and edge

Based on the IIoT use cases, the analytics need to be executed on the edge device closer to the controller so that it can react using a standard operation procedure based on the mission -critical events. On the other hand, there are analytics that typically run for a longer time and need to process large amount of datasets, which is at a fleet level.
