Previous issues of popular science articles have introduced you to what edge computing is, its advantages, application scenarios, etc. If you are interested, you can poke the link to learn more. How strong is edge computing? Let's take a look at its advantages and its 5 typical applications! Today, let's take a look at the main edge computing products? What are the main scenarios?
With the deepening of information technology integration and application, edge computing technology has gradually entered people's field of vision and has become one of the important directions for future development. Edge computing refers to the use of devices located at the edge of the network, such as industrial sensors, edge routers, edge computing boxes and other devices, to analyze, process, store and improve the data in the network to provide higher performance and lower latency service experience.
01 Smart Sensors
Intelligent sensors usually have built-in intelligent chips and edge computing modules, which can collect the status information of equipment, environment, and subsystems in real time or at a regular time, and then classify, analyze, and package the data on the spot, reducing the time and resource consumption of computing and analyzing after data uploading, so as to achieve more accurate and effective monitoring and control of the physical environment, and improve the efficiency of system monitoring. Main application scenarios: Smart sensors have a wide range of application prospects in various fields, such as industry, aerospace, automotive, environmental monitoring, medical and other fields.
02 Edge Computing Box (AI Box).
An edge computing box is a small smart device deployed near a data source that can be used to process and analyze data generated by IoT devices, and transmit the results to the cloud or elsewhere, typically including functions such as compute, storage, networking, and security. Its built-in efficient processors and storage capabilities can quickly process large amounts of data, increasing data processing speed, reducing latency, and enhancing security. For example, the edge computing box of Yingma Technology has the advantages of "multi-level computing power, rich interfaces, high degree of localization, and wide working temperature range", and supports mainstream intelligent algorithms such as face recognition, passenger flow analysis, intelligent analysis, etc., and can also customize long-tail algorithms according to the needs of the scene. Main application scenarios: Based on powerful computing capabilities, edge computing boxes can be widely used in edge scenarios in the fields of smart construction sites, smart transportation, smart campuses, and smart emergency responses. 
03 Edge smart routers
An edge intelligent router is a router located at the edge of the network (that is, the edge point of the network), also known as a border router or access router. Its main role is to connect users from the LAN to the WAN. In the case of large differences between LAN and WAN technologies, edge intelligent routers need to meet a variety of service needs of users, including simple networking, complex multi-service and VPN services. In order to achieve these functions, edge intelligent routers need to have strong implementation capabilities in both hardware and software. Main application scenarios: Edge routers play a key role in information application scenarios. Especially in the fields of smart healthcare and smart transportation, edge intelligent routing realizes seamless connection and smooth communication between devices by deploying artificial intelligence algorithms and models at the edge, and maintains the stable operation of devices even when the network is disconnected. 
04 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC).
PLC is essentially an intelligent computer with programming, computing, control, output and other capabilities, but it has been designed for adaptive integration according to the needs of industrial production and industrial applications. PLC also manages and controls equipment operation with low latency and high efficiency at the edge. Main application scenarios: PLC can be widely used in remote control, equipment monitoring, control and optimization in many fields such as power system, energy management, transportation, smart home and agricultural automation. 
05 ICT convergence gatewayICT is a combination of the prefix of the three English words of information, communication and technology (Information Communications Technology), which generally has advanced device access capabilities, data collection capabilities, edge computing capabilities, 5G 4G wired and other comprehensive communication transmission capabilities, etc., to achieve large-scale, multi-device data interaction and full control of the Internet of Things system. Main application scenarios: In smart transportation scenarios, the computing power and flexible access capabilities of ICT convergence gateways can meet the requirements of the gateway's open platform and computing resource bearing, accelerate the intelligent transformation of urban transportation, and realize the intelligent transformation of the whole link. In the smart healthcare scenario, the IT&CT convergence capability and intelligent VM management capability of the ICT convergence gateway can realize the intelligent management of IT resources, realize the zero-configuration service rollout, and improve the quality and efficiency of medical services. In the smart education scenario, the flexible access capabilities and SDN functions of the ICT convergence gateway can support the digital and intelligent upgrade of the education system and promote the sustainable development of education.
ConclusionAs an emerging information technology, edge computing has a diversified product system that brings a lot of convenience to users, greatly enriches various application scenarios, and promotes various industries to move towards digitalization and intelligence. For project developers and enterprises, choosing the right edge computing products for them will be able to better cope with the increasing data and business needs, and jointly meet the challenges and opportunities in the new era.
