Overview
The Edge Gateway functions as the "nervous system" for the InfiniEdge AI project. It is designed to seamlessly connect AI models with your IoT devices at the edge.
Stakeholders:
Objective
This work stream aims to optimize the device discovery experience at the edge, enabling edge gateways to automatically discover IoT devices using various protocols (S7, OPC UA, HTTP, etc.) and deploy the necessary resources so AI can interact with them.
Approach
Shifu’s approach to adding device discovery capabilities is to integrate Project Akri (https://github.com/project-akri/akri). Akri will serve as Shifu's device management plane, while Shifu will handle the control and data planes.
