1. A method for enabling near real-time and offline data processing among heterogenous devices associated with heavy industrial systems comprising:
obtaining data from a first physical asset, the data comprising one or more of local compute data or cloud compute data, wherein the data from a first physical asset is obtained via a first communication protocol;
identifying at least one destination device associated with the data obtained from the first physical asset, the destination device including at least one of a local area compute node, a cloud compute node, or a second physical asset;
identifying a destination location associated with the at least one destination device;
computing a flight path to the destination location;
traveling to the destination location using the computed flight path; and
uploading relevant data to the at least one destination device upon arriving to the destination location, wherein the data is uploaded to the at least one destination device via a second communication protocol, wherein the first and second communication protocols are different.
