Edge AI
Edge AI runs models on devices and local hardware instead of a remote server. That helps when you need fast responses, limited connectivity or data that shouldn't leave the site.
- Focus
- Run AI on devices and local hardware for speed, privacy and offline use.
- Building blocks
- Model compression and quantization · Edge runtimes · Embedded and gateway hardware · Over-the-air updates
- Suits
- Teams with devices at sites or in vehicles
Built around your business.
Running on constrained hardware changes the design. We size models to the device, plan updates and monitoring, and keep a clear line between what runs locally and what goes to the cloud.
What we deliver.
- 01
Hardware and constraint review
Processing power, memory, connectivity and power limits of your devices.
- 02
Model optimization
Compressing and adapting models to run within the device's budget.
- 03
On-device application
Software that captures input, runs inference and acts on the result locally.
- 04
Fleet updates and monitoring
Safe over-the-air model updates and health reporting.
Where it's used.
On-site detection with limited bandwidth
Running vision models on a local gateway instead of streaming video.
Offline-capable field tools
Apps that classify or read data with no signal.
Low-latency decisions
Responses in milliseconds where a cloud round trip is too slow.
How we work.
01
Discover
We agree the problem, the data available and how success will be judged.
02
Prove
A small, testable version on your own data shows what works before larger spend.
03
Build
Production engineering: integrations, safeguards, review steps and monitoring.
04
Improve
We measure real usage, fix what falls short and keep quality and cost in check.
Best fit.
- Teams with devices at sites or in vehicles
- Products with privacy or connectivity constraints
- Vision projects with heavy video volumes
