AI at the Edge: Why On-Device Intelligence Changes the Game for Supply Chains

Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase of deployment. For most of the past decade, enterprise AI systems have relied heavily on centralized cloud infrastructure. Data collected at the edge of operations, such as warehouse scans, transportation events, and shipment documentation, has typically been transmitted to centralized systems for processing and analysis.
That architecture is now beginning to shift.
