Edge computing is the deployment of network operations and data-handling activities toward more solitary sources of data collecting or storage. Industrial edge computing, which includes industrial applications, describes the method of controlling data-handling operations using distinct data sources, such as smart edge devices. As a result, whether collecting, processing, or evaluating data in smart factories, IIoT devices and smart equipment do not need to contact centralised cloud platforms.

Industrial edge computing is a term used to describe a distributed platform that combines communication, processing, and storage capabilities to run real-time applications that may be accessed directly from the cloud. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) revolution has raised demands for flexible connectivity, realtime control, data optimization, intelligent applications, security, and privacy protection. Edge computing nodes serve as intelligent gateways for assets, services, and systems, bridging the gap between the real and digital worlds.
