You don’t have to improve them out in the field. Just collect metrics on their behavior and train a central model on that data, then you upgrade the local models on each unit when they are brought in for maintenance. I’m simplifying, of course. And terrified.
That’s the thing, the local models aren’t going to have the processing power to really beat deterministic systems. So you’re going to need comms at some point to really get any kind of edge. Otherwise dumb systems get the job done for pennies, while you’re having to produce high end chips to handle local processing and back end training, just to significantly out perform a garage door trip light. Yes, an exaggerated comparison, but the point holds.
