Implement edge computing in a battery-powered IoT device with limited resources

Morning everyone ! Is it feasible to implement edge computing in a battery-powered IoT device with limited resources? What are the trade-offs and potential challenges in offloading computation to the edge?
Solution:
Edge computing provides the following benefits: * Real-time local data processing enables immediate actions even without connectivity with the backend system. * Pre-processing and analyzing data before sending it to the backend system to reduce the payload size and communication frequency (resulting in lower cost and potential battery saving). * In case of connectivity issues, the device can locally store messages and transmit them once it is back online (you won't lose telemetry data during a network outage). ...
Gateway vs. Gateway-less Industrial IoT considerations
Introduction In this post, I will describe two approaches to the Industrial Internet of Things deployments and provide my perspective. Hopefully, it will help you choose the proper architecture for your specific case. Before we start, I will briefly define the Edge Gateway.
