The democratized edge describes the rapid adoption of intelligent edge solutions and the potential to transform business operations by collecting, analyzing and making better decisions using data.
The intelligent edge is gaining traction across industries as a tool to translate data into action — improving decision-making and innovation. The intelligent edge allows companies to make more informed business decisions rooted in data, improve customer satisfaction, automate workflows and reduce operating costs. The intelligent edge has use cases across many industries, including:
- Energy — helping remote solar panels and wind turbines adjust to conditions
- Transportation — enabling automatic traffic response from streetlights and message boards
- Retail — supporting inventory checks and improving the customer experience
Democratizing the edge makes edge technology more accessible and encourages organizations of all sizes to adopt it.
