Abstract
A processor may analyze a physical environment. One or more portions of the physical environment may have an edge computing resource requirement. The processor may determine, based on the analyzing, one or more additional edge computing resources to be placed in a surrounding area associated with the one or more portions of the physical environment. The processor may situate, automatically, the one or more additional edge computing resources on a material handling device in the surrounding area and that is directed toward the one or more portions of the physical environment.
Claims20
A system for context aware edge computing, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to perform operations comprising:
- analyzing a physical environment, wherein one or more portions of the physical environment have an edge computing resource requirement;
- determining, based on the analyzing, one or more additional edge computing resources to be placed in a surrounding area associated with the one or more portions of the physical environment;
- and
- situating, automatically by utilizing a robotic appendage, the one or more additional edge computing resources on a material handling device in the surrounding area and that is directed toward the one or more portions of the physical environment, wherein the material handling device is a conveyor.
A computer-implemented method for context aware edge computing, the method comprising:
- analyzing, by a processor, a physical environment, wherein one or more portions of the physical environment have an edge computing resource requirement;
- determining, based on the analyzing, one or more additional edge computing resources to be placed in a surrounding area associated with the one or more portions of the physical environment;
- and
- situating, automatically by utilizing a robotic appendage, the one or more additional edge computing resources on a material handling device in the surrounding area and that is directed toward the one or more portions of the physical environment, wherein the material handling device is a conveyor.
A computer program product for context aware edge computing comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- analyzing a physical environment, wherein one or more portions of the physical environment have an edge computing resource requirement;
- determining, based on the analyzing, one or more additional edge computing resources to be placed in a surrounding area associated with the one or more portions of the physical environment;
- and
- situating, automatically by utilizing a robotic appendage, the one or more additional edge computing resources on a material handling device in the surrounding area and that is directed toward the one or more portions of the physical environment, wherein the material handling device is a conveyor.
