The edge is enabling us to expand our reach to a new range of systems, equipment, devices, and applications, providing relevant outcomes for operating and managing buildings.
The built environment is becoming hyper-distributed, with the edge playing a significant shift in the way we are connecting, acquiring information, interacting with it, and making decisions. The past several years have demonstrated that device and system connectivity in buildings is continuing on an upward trajectory and is delivering undeniable value to owners, operators, and occupants alike. The edge is enabling us to expand our reach to a new range of systems, equipment, devices, and applications, providing relevant outcomes for operating and managing buildings.
We are seeing an increase in an edge-in approach. Here, equipment, systems, devices, and applications are built specifically for the edge. This means they are edge-native and can fully take advantage of distributed computing. With this approach, you can still bring data into the cloud as needed, but the edge is the primary connectivity and computational resource delivering a full range of benefits.
