Use of Edge Computing in Different Sectors

(1)Transportation:
The best example of use of edge computing in transport sector has to be autonomous cars. The self driving vehicles utilize edge computing to process data much closer to the vehicle via these sensors, saving precious milliseconds. But, how? This is possible because of the numerous types of sensors, self-driving vehicles are equipped with.
These sensors range from camera to radar to lidar-based systems, that help the vehicle to operate.

(2)Healthcare:
Have you ever wondered how your smartwatch or your fitness tracker operate? How those gadgets are able to provide realtime analysis of your pulse, or your heart rate, how many kms have you walked & other data? It is possible because of edge computing, as the data which is processed by these trackers is sent to the cloud directly, so the realtime data transmission becomes quick without delay.

(3)Manufacturing:
Edge computing is helping the manufacturing units to produce goods effeciently & in large quantities. If there's a manufacturing unit using robots to aid in production & delivery of raw material on the floor, & the robots are outfitted with sensors and connected to an edge device, the output would increase & using machine learning the edge device could also prompt the operating conditions of the robots.

(4)Financial Institutions:
Financial institutions are using cloud computing capacities at a much larger level which calls for higher bandwidth and larger capacity to transfer and store the extensive amount of data. Edge computing helps banks by enabling them to move data processing closer to the source, banks and other financial institutions to provide services in a more quick and secure manner.
