“…These challenges can be mitigated by designing suitable architectures for data acquisition, communication, and processing. The data processing required for Industry 4.0 functions may be performed on an edge device [6], rely on cloudbased computing, or be integrated in a seamless architecture combining several computing domains as proposed by [7]. The choice depends on requirements including IT security, protection of data and intellectual property (IP), data volume and bandwidth, computing power, as well as latency.…”
