1. A computer-implemented method for operating a terminal with high availability in a network comprising a first edge device which operates the terminal via an artificial intelligence (AI) model, at least one second edge device and a monitoring device having a store in the cloud, the method comprising:
storing in the store at least one identifier for a failure backup device of the first edge device, said identifier relating to the at least one second edge device, and the AI model for operating the terminal and information relating to a communication configuration between the first and the at least one second edge device, the monitoring device and the terminal;
sending periodically, by the first edge device, a signal about correct operation in the network of the first edge device;
receiving the signal by the monitoring device, an associated defective device is recognized if a missing or erroneous signal is detected; and
transmitting the AI model and the communication configuration of the defective device from the store to a backup device;
wherein the backup device is determined by the identifier associated with the missing or erroneous signal; and
wherein the backup device operates the terminal device utilizing the received AI model and the communication configuration.
