It’s usually an IoT (Internet of Things) term that signifies that something runs on the end device. These are hardware constrained devices that would otherwise just send their data somewhere else to be processed, but in this case they’re doing the processing.
In this context: Print failure detection is usually done by streaming video from your camera (say a Raspberry Pi with a camera) to some companies’ server, but in this case it would be your Raspberry Pi that’s both a camera and the processor whose output is “print failed” or “print good”.
I have never heard the phrase “runs on the edge”, and the article uses some form of it a half dozen times.
My only results for “edge devices” refer to networking. Is that what they’re trying to say?
It’s referring to edge computing, and can be thought of as essentially saying “self hosting”.

Article sounds AI written to me.
I can tell you for sure they probably don’t mean this, but it was still my first thought.
Devices like Intel MyriadX inside of a camera would be considered edge devices in this application.

I’ve got an original OakD camera but haven’t tried to use it yet, was a gift at a convention a few years back. Pretty interesting device overall.
Yes. Kind of implying you’d be able to run it on a reverse proxy without undue security considerations.
