LIVING AT THE EDGEFor retail and logistics companies, fast and reliable order fulfillment is the key to building consistency andcustomer loyalty. As a result, automation systems are crucial to each facility. To facilitate the movement ofdata necessary for real-time decision making, critical IT equipment is placed on the warehouse floor with noenvironmental protection – otherwise known as Edge Computing. The logistics space has embraced EdgeComputing, which helps companies store and retrieve real-time data as close to the source as possible.Edge Computing solutions benefit retail and logistics companies by reducing latency to helpensure uptime and reducing energy consumption to minimize their carbon footprint andoperational costs. The Edge deployment itself is a complete system built around sensors,optimizing data analysis allowing companies to make well-informed, real-time decisions.12CMC III/ Security & MonitoringBlue e Air ConditionersEdge Installations are often in remote,When managing large buildings with complexsecluded locations without the multi-layerinfrastructure, energy efficiency delivered byphysical security found in traditional datathe Blue e contributes significantly to thecenters.
