Patent ID: 10725466

Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to a system for processing manufacturing data, comprising: an edge device; a cloud platform; a sensing device configured to collect manufacturing data and to provide the collected data to the edge device; wherein the edge device and the cloud platform are each configured to carry out a plurality of data processing functions on the manufacturing data; the system further comprising a resource manager configured to communicate with the edge device and with the cloud platform, wherein the resource manager is further configured to: determine whether each of the plurality of data processing functions is to be carried out at the edge device or at the cloud platform; if it is determined that the plurality of data processing functions is to be carried out at the edge device, instruct the edge device to carry out the plurality of data processing functions; if it is determined that the plurality of data processing functions is to be carried out at the cloud platform, instruct the cloud platform to carry out the plurality of data processing functions; and if it is determined that at least one of the plurality of data processing functions is to be carried out at the edge device and at least one other data processing function is to be carried out at the cloud platform, instruct the edge device to carry out the at least one of the plurality of data processing functions and instruct the cloud platform to carry out the at least one other data processing function.
