## AI overview

A guide to industrial edge computing explains how local processing of factory-floor sensor and machine data enables sub-10ms responses for real-time control and safety actions. It describes using containerization and Portainer Edge Groups, Edge Stacks, centralized monitoring, and remote updates and rollbacks to manage distributed industrial deployments.
