The future of innovation is edge computing
Moving processing power to the edge of the network with edge computing is the new frontier of innovation. From the mainframe to the PC, from mixed client-server computing to the cloud and software-as-a-service, the technologies used for data processing, which has become increasingly complex, require even more high capacity and stable connections that minimize the latency time of information transmission, necessary for time-sensitive applications. Most Edge Computing solutions are used in industry for a variety of applications, ranging from sensor aggregation to monitoring of complex systems, to the digital transformation of manufacturing environments. Using Edge Computing technology in industrial sectors, as well as in the service sector, means monitoring and automating certain processes in the best, most effective way and protected from cyber-attacks. Managing machinery and IoT objects in real time is the challenge that edge computing and 5G are preparing to play, whose integration will allow to increase the speed of processing by exploiting the local cache of devices such as smartphones or IoT sensors.

From Digital Energy to Edge Computing: the intelligent evolution of the energy grid
In the landscape of connected and decentralized energy, even the most traditional tools are undergoing transformation. Today, fiscal energy meters are no longer just measuring instruments, but intelligent nodes within an ever-evolving energy ecosystem. Thanks to integration with edge devices, such as our Beeta Readers, it is possible to collect, process, and enhance energy data directly at the point where it is generated, ensuring faster response times, autonomous management, and greater local control of resources. This approach enables users—whether individuals, businesses, or communities—to make more informed decisions and proactively optimize their energy consumption and production. This evolution opens up new scenarios for the dynamic management of energy flows, where data becomes not only a monitoring tool, but an enabler for real-time, localized optimization of consumption and production. 📡 In this context, Renewable Energy Communities (CERs) and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) find their technological foundation. The ability to accurately monitor energy withdrawals and injections, flexibly aggregate distributed resources, and respond quickly to grid conditions represents a new frontier for efficiency, sustainability, and energy autonomy. What seemed futuristic only a few years ago is now becoming reality, thanks to the convergence of digital energy, edge computing, and artificial intelligence. Tera continues to invest in the research and development of edge-cloud platforms capable of interfacing with existing meters, processing data locally, and contributing to the creation of an increasingly resilient, transparent, and participatory energy network. 🔍 Our CEO, Antonio Sacchetti, discusses this in greater depth in an article featured on pages 36–37 of the digital magazine Smart Building Italia, available at the following link: 👉
New European Directives for Building Technologies: Constraints and Opportunities
New European policies are redefining the future of the smart building sector, posing new challenges while also opening up opportunities for innovation and growth. In his recent article published on Smart Building Italia, our CEO Antonio Sacchetti analyzed two key directives that will have a direct impact on building technologies: the Cyber Resiliency Act (CRA) and the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). The CRA is a European regulation that introduces strict cybersecurity requirements for all products with digital elements, particularly those connected to the network. Key aspects include: The goal is to ensure stronger protection against vulnerabilities and cyberattacks, but companies will need to face additional investments and complexities to comply. The EPBD aims at decarbonizing the European building stock, setting increasingly strict sustainability standards. The most relevant aspects include: 👉 Want to read the full article?
