The Linux Foundation is into a mission to untangle and to uplift the IoT edge computing. This company have announced a new open-source project – EdgeX Foundry- which is designed to build a common IoT solution framework. The IoT can help businesses improve effectiveness and increase revenue, the difficulties of the IoT landscape is making it difficult to adopt and impeding on market growth.

Here the huge amount of data which is generated by the sensors and devices will be collected by the edge before it send to the cloud for any further processing.

In some cases the edge layer will apply intelligence by closely analyzing and finding irregularity in the incoming data stream. With edge computing it dramatically reduces the latency by compute closer to the origin of data. This will play an important role in driving the adoption of Industrial IoT. The common goal for this initiative is to simplify and standardization of industrial IoT edge computing, while still allowing the ecosystem to add significant value since the Industrial IoT and Edge Computing markets are underperforming due to lack of standards. Both vendors and customers find it challenging to implement an IIoT solution due to the lack interoperability.

EdgeX Foundry attempts to build a common framework for Edge Computing. It is designed to run on any hardware or operating system like Linux, Windows and MacOS with

any combination of application environments, this framework can quickly and easily deliver information between connected devices, applications, and services, across a wide

range of use cases. The components will be certified by EdgeX Foundry to ensure the highest level of compatibility. .Applications can be written for any application environment

such as Java, Javascript, Python, Go and C/C++. Dell, one of the founding members of the project, will be providing the EdgeX Foundry with the company’s FUSE source code under the Apache 2.0 license.
