A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an automated system that collects data from various input devices such as sensors that monitor parameters such as storage level, pressure, temperature, etc. Then, using its own programmed software logic, the PLC processes the collected data, makes appropriate logic-based decisions, and delivers output instructions and commands to control processes and machines.

Edge computing is a distributed computing pattern that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This is expected to improve response times and save bandwidth. Edge computing is an architecture rather than a specific technology, and a topology- and location-sensitive form of distributed computing.
