## AI overview

This guide explains how to deploy computer vision inference on manufacturing lines, where millisecond decision deadlines, high camera bandwidth, and WAN outages favor local processing. It covers model optimization and edge hardware, integration with PLCs and manufacturing systems, fleet management, and IT/OT controls.

## Source excerpt

A reject decision must happen in milliseconds, cameras generate data continuously, and the line still runs when the WAN does not. This guide covers edge vision deployment for manufacturing, from hardware and model optimization to PLC integration and IT/OT controls.
