<h3 data-start="503" data-end="572"><strong data-start="507" data-end="570">1. Introduction to Edge Intelligence in Smart Manufacturing</strong></h3>
<p data-start="410" data-end="781">Edge Intelligence (EI) is changing the way manufacturing processes handle data. By combining edge computing with artificial intelligence (AI), it enables real-time data processing and decision-making. Unlike traditional cloud-based AI, which often struggles with latency issues, EI processes data closer to the source, ensuring faster responses.</p>
<p data-start="783" data-end="1116">This capability is particularly important in customized manufacturing, where quick adaptability is essential. Since smart factories generate vast amounts of data, relying solely on cloud-based systems can slow down operations. However, Edge Intelligence minimizes these delays, boosting efficiency and productivity.</p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 1.5em;" data-start="1122" data-end="1181">2. The Role of Knowledge Reasoning in Edge Intelligence</strong></p>
