Nowadays, to gain more customers and positive feedback, hoteliers want the latest use of technology in hotels. Therefore, Edge Computing for hotel is one of the trending technology.

Now first, we understand what edge computing means. Edge computing means the system that processes the data at its generation point source. Then, deliver to the large networks to the edge devices.

We are using the edge points in our hotel industry every day. Examples:-POS machines, robots, IoTs, vehicles, and sensors.

Due to the pandemic, the hotel industry has faced a downfall in the hotel industry. After that, the hoteliers are enhancing the hotel and its technologies to attract customers and cover the pandemic losses.

POS

POS: Point of sale is used to collect the customer’s pieces of information, and meal order bills, and transfer them to the room or at the hotel front desk. It is used in the day-to-day operations of the hotel. 

Sometimes it happens that the customer had the meal in the room time in the dining hall. With the POS, they can pay for one while during the checkout.

POS generates a large amount of data. So with edge computing, the data is processed at the data source and delivered to the hotel management team.

Payments With Edge Computing Strategy

When any person makes an online payment, then a lot of data processing takes place. So there is the chance of data stealing and fraud.

For better results and to protect data loss, edge computing plays a vital role. Edge Computing for hotel industry gives a safer and faster payment process.

When any person on the hotel website processes the online payment, the data processing takes place at the edges like data source.

Helpful In Kitchen Task

Edge computing is setting the benchmark in the hotels kitchen. The chef can set the timers and the temperature in the refrigerator, air fryer, deep fryer, induction, and many other cooking appliances.

With edge computing, all the calculation and the timer processing take place at the edges i.e devices of the kitchen.

When any industry adopts any new technology, then there must be some benefits from it. Here too, with the adoption of edge computing hotel industry is experiencing lots of benefits. 

Here are the below-discussed benefits of edge computing:

Fast Processing Speed

Data processing does not take place at the centralized data point. It is operated at the data source that is edges. So this process is very fast because the processed data does not travel from the centralized server to the edge. 

Therefore edge computing gives a better user experience and has reduced time. 

Security Of Data

In the hotel industry, data stealing and data, theft can take place. With edge computing, we can reduce the chances of it. In this process, there is no data activity, and the operation takes place at a centralized network.

Also, the data processing takes place at the source. It reduces the chances of data theft and stealing because the data is not traveling from the centralized network to the edge. During this time, data is more vulnerable.

There is no doubt that the implementation of the technologies enhances the customer experience. Also, the vital data of the hotel is secured.

Any data stealing from the customer from the hotel’s side can degrade the brand image of the hotel.

Hence we can say that edge computing in the hotel is vital for customers and the hotel.
