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”.
