Edge Computing Stargazer / SD-555E

--- Concept ---

"Next-Generation Edge Networks Supporting Real-Time Control and Efficient System Operations" By adopting Stargazer, you can overcome the challenges of traditional cloud-dependent networks and enable real-time processing with edge devices. This innovative network solution delivers new value to various industries by reducing operational costs, offering flexible scalability, and enabling rapid data processing.

--- Overview ---

Real-Time Control

Performs primary processing at the edge/gateway, optimizing data instantly. Enables real-time monitoring of operations and configurations without relying on cloud servers.

Reduced Communication Load

On-site processing reduces internet traffic, enhancing the overall communication efficiency of the system.

Simple Integration

Supports both wired and wireless connections with off-the-shelf sensors. No need for dedicated PCs, management servers, or specialized applications.

Improved Cost Efficiency

The link buffer function prevents database bloat. Allows flexible system changes, reducing large-scale expenses and time.

Enhanced Security

Speeds up anomaly detection on-site. The cloud can focus solely on big data analysis.

--- System Configuration ---

-- Existing Network --

The network infrastructure initially built by users fundamentally depends on the control technologies of the infrastructure first constructed. Additionally, due to technical differences such as communication methods and data formats, users face restrictions when attempting to expand or integrate these networks freely. Currently, there are no products that enable network infrastructures to be shared and unified under a single communication method. Moreover, building network infrastructures that align with user needs, achieving system quality, shortening development timelines, and reducing costs are essential to succeeding in global competition.

-- Stargazer Network --

A common platform (Stargazer) is placed between individual devices within the system and the cloud server, forming an intermediary system. This eliminates the need for users to consider the specific communication methods or data formats when adding or removing devices within the system. Furthermore, Stargazer goes beyond merely mediating data. Instead of having the cloud server control each device in the system, monitoring and primary processing are performed on the edge side. This enables real-time control of individual devices and allows the entire system to autonomously manage and control itself.
