Introduction to IoT
• IoT stands for Internet of Things.
• Connects devices like sensors, cameras, and
appliances.
• Used in smart homes, health monitors,
vehicles, etc.
• Requires fast, efficient data handling.
What is Edge Computing?
• Edge computing processes data near the
source/device.
• Reduces need to send data to the cloud.
• Ideal for real-time, low-latency applications.
Why Edge Computing for IoT?
• Reduces latency for real-time responses.
• Minimizes bandwidth usage.
• Improves data privacy and security.
• Reduces dependence on cloud services.
Architecture of Edge Computing in
IoT
• Sensor/Device → Edge Node → Cloud
(optional).
• Edge node processes data before sending to
cloud.
• Useful diagram includes devices, edge layer,
and cloud.
Edge vs. Cloud Computing
• Edge: Low latency, near-device processing.
• Cloud: High latency, remote server processing.
• Edge: Works offline; Cloud: Needs internet.
• Edge: Good for real-time; Cloud: For deep
analysis.
Applications
• Smart Cities – traffic control, lighting.
• Healthcare – emergency alerts, monitoring.
• Industrial IoT – real-time machine data.
• Agriculture – environmental sensing.
Benefits
• Faster data processing.
• Less cloud dependency.
• Higher system reliability.
• Energy and cost-efficient.
Challenges
• Limited processing power at edge devices.
• Need for robust security.
• Software maintenance issues.
• Device scalability and cost.
Future Scope
• AI on edge devices (TinyML).
• Integration with 5G networks.
• Efficient battery-powered edge devices.
• More secure and intelligent edge nodes.
Conclusion
• Edge computing enhances IoT performance.
• Key to real-time, efficient data systems.
• Crucial for ECE innovations and future tech.
