It's got to be here somewhere. Stop for just a minute. Let's look around. It shouldn't be that difficult to find the edge in materials handling operations. But then again, maybe it is.What exactly is the edge? Where is it? Why does it matter? These are all good questions, especially if someone has told you only IT needs to know or care about edge. They're wrong. And just for the record, we're not talking Microsoft Edge on your laptop.What we are talking about is data collection with automatic data capture (ADC) hardware from scanners to mobile terminals and voice systems as well as a proliferation of sensors that track everything from vibrations to temperatures in the plant and warehouse. Processing all of this data is becoming edge enabled, and the momentum for bringing edge into day-to-day operations is building.Two years ago, edge wasn't much of a consideration. But that's changed lately. |
