The edge computing principle has become massively more important for the digitalization of industry in recent years. Real-time-capable IoT applications and the increasing use of artificial intelligence in machines require top performance in terms of data transmission capacity and computing power, with minimum latency and maximum resource efficiency. Added to this are issues of data sovereignty and data protection as well as the increasing merging of IT and OT as further drivers of the growing demand for intelligent edge solutions. Edge computing does not replace cloud computing, but complements it as a local link. At the VDMA Austria's all-day exchange of experiences on June 3, 2025 at MAPLAN, we will discuss the latest developments in the field of edge computing with well-known technology companies, who will also present us with specific edge use cases.
