IDC came across multiple examples of this data flow across the core, edge, and endpoints in its interviews for this project. Some of them include the following: Manufacturing Healthcare Manufacturers have multiple use cases such as Providers are taking advantage of greater factory automation and control, but a intelligence being built into diagnostic particularly notable one mentioned by a equipment and patient devices that can collect manufacturer had to do with IoT data from patient data, upload it to the cloud or a engines it builds and sells. It collects telemetry centralized datacenter for analysis or diagnosis, and other operating data which it then pulls and then receive instructions or back into the core to perform advanced recommendations based on the patient’s analytics to tweak manufacturing processes, specific needs. In the future, in-home robotic but which it also shares with its dealers and healthcare assistants will monitor elderly distributors, so they can be more responsive to patients and provide notification if an individual customers’ needs. requires assistance, ensure medication is taken, and even perform simple tasks. Financial Services Firms circulate data between core, edge, and Media and Entertainment endpoint for a variety of use cases including Companies interviewed by IDC spoke of analytics and branch operations. Fraud ongoing efforts to repatriate data, pulling detection on the edge is a growing use case digitized data from marketing groups, third for banks and other financial firms given its parties, and other sources back to the core immediate impact on the balance sheet. ATM where it can be repurposed, re-used, and machines are being outfitted with analytics analyzed. Based on the results of that analysis engines to authenticate would-be ATM the appropriate data is then repropagated back customers looking to withdraw funds. to the end users and devices that require it. In Complex algorithms that capture various the future, entertainment content might be forms of personal biometric data and tailored in real time based on a consumer’s behavior are coalesced into a unique responses and biometric reactions. Intensity of identifier that authenticates identity as effects could be increased or decreased customers approach the ATM – all the while appropriately to ensure the best experience in creating data at the edge. augmented or virtual realities.
