## Example Usage

### Input

We have a manufacturing plant with 500+ sensors generating 10GB/hour of data. Need real-time anomaly detection with <50ms latency for safety-critical alerts. Current cloud-only approach has 200ms latency and high bandwidth costs ($50K/year). Plant has unreliable internet connectivity (monthly outages). Must integrate with existing cloud data lake for historical analysis and model training.

### Output

**Edge Architecture Design**

Three-tier topology optimized for manufacturing environment:

| Tier   | Function        | Hardware                 | Quantity |
| ------ | --------------- | ------------------------ | -------- |
| Tier 1 | Sensor gateways | Industrial gateway (ARM) | 10       |
| Tier 2 | Edge servers    | Industrial PC with GPU   | 5        |
| Tier 3 | Cloud           | AWS (existing)           | -        |
