The Need for Real-Time Distributed Smart Agent Network
Placing business logic application intelligence at the edge of the network is essential to scaling and the full deployment of workflow optimization solutions for the logistics, transportation, retail, manufacturing, and smart grid industries. The integration of business process execution at the edge not only minimizes deployment costs but substantially simplifies smart sensors integration without disruption to existing business processes and backend systems. The ability to provide real-time analytics at the edge also increases efficiencies by speeding up decisions process right where it is needed.
By simplifying workflow development and deployment, smart agent networks also ensure nearly immediate ROI for large and small businesses with automation of sensors and actuator, reduced cost of inventory, real-time visibility, reduction in exception handling, and much more efficient supply chain processes. As a result, the enhanced business process optimization can ultimately exceed user, customer, employee, and management satisfaction benchmarks.
