description The industrial sector has undergone significant digital transformation, driven by advancements in technology and the Internet of Things (IoT). These developments have facilitated the collection of vast quantities of data, which, in turn, pose significant challenges for real-time data processing. This study seeks to validate the efficacy and accuracy of edge computing models designed to represent subprocesses within industrial environments and to compare their performance with that of traditional cloud computing models. By processing data locally at the point of collection, edge computing models provide substantial benefits in minimizing latency and enhancing processing efficiency, which are crucial for real-time decision-making in industrial operations. This research demonstrates that models derived from distinct subprocesses yield superior accuracy compared to comprehensive models encompassing multiple subprocesses. The findings indicate that an increase in data volume does not necessarily translate to improved model performance, particularly in datasets that capture data from production processes, as combining independent process data can introduce extraneous ‘noise’. By subdividing datasets into smaller, specialized edge models, this study offers a viable approach to mitigating the latency challenges inherent in cloud computing, thereby enhancing real-time data processing capabilities, scalability, and adaptability for modern industrial applications.
