Frequently asked questions
What Are Edge & IoT Solutions in This Context?
Edge & IoT solutions bring processing, analytics, and Artificial Intelligence closer to where operations occur, on devices, gateways, and plant-level infrastructure. This enables real-time decisions with minimal latency in mission-critical environments. GIGA IT specializes in Edge & IoT solutions for distributed industrial operations.
Why Not Process Everything in the Cloud?
Cloud-only architectures introduce latency and dependency on connectivity. Edge solutions allow systems to process and respond instantly, ensuring operational continuity even with limited or unstable networks.
What Do We Deliver at the End of an Engagement?
GIGA IT delivers a production-ready Edge & IoT platform, including edge compute and gateway deployment, real-time data ingestion and processing pipelines, AI models running at the edge for anomaly detection and predictive insights, cloud synchronization and governance, observability and monitoring capabilities, failover mechanisms, and comprehensive documentation, runbooks, and SLAs designed to support reliable operations across distributed plants and assets.
How Do You Ensure Reliability, Security, and Low Latency?
We design real-time performance using edge compute, secure communication, encryption, redundancy, and local failover mechanisms. We also implement observability, monitoring, and governance to ensure stable operations in high-frequency environments.
What Engagement Models Are Available?
GIGA IT delivers Edge & IoT Solutions through three models, all nearshore and time-zone aligned with SLAs and reporting: End-to-End Delivery for full lifecycle ownership, AI Engineering Teams as cross-functional units, or Staff Augmentation with senior specialists.
Can the Platform Evolve After Deployment?
Yes. We provide continuous improvements including model updates, device governance, performance tuning, and expansion to new assets or locations. The platform evolves over time, improving operational performance and intelligence.
