Title
Hardware multiplication
Description
The distributed nature of edge computing leads to a lot of hardware being produced. This has an impact on resource utilization that has to be investigated both for producing them but also for running them, i.e. to perform lifecycle assessments. As part of this effort, Pirson & Bol provide a carbon footprint assessment of IoT edge devices (focusing on the production and transport phases) that shows the consequent impact these devices have.

Related artifact
Infrastructure
Context
Deployment and normal operation
Feature
Distributed nature of edge
Tactic intent
Spreading hardware devices that need to be produced
Intent measure
Amount of hardware needed, Life cycle assessment of the hardware considered
Countermeasure
Use already existing devices as edge devices (for example embedded systems) instead of building dedicated edge devices.
