Edge AI
Consultancy, Innovation, Development and Engineering
You need faster, more intelligent, scalable, connected solutions that meet your evolving demands.
With Edge AI, your systems can make real-time decisions with low latency, improved security and lower operational expenses. Edge AI provides you with the agility you need now and the scalability you need for tomorrow.
Our extensive knowledge of embedded systems and AI technologies makes us ideally placed to help you match technology options to your needs, navigate implementation challenges, and deliver a successful solution.
Why Edge AI?
Edge AI is the combination of Edge Computing and Artificial Intelligence. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are processed locally on an edge device rather than in the cloud or remote data centre.
The algorithms use the data generated by the devices themselves, enabling them to make decisions in a matter of milliseconds. There are almost no limits to the potential uses of Edge AI from smart vehicles, homes, devices, buildings, cities, manufacturing, and more.
The edge AI market is projected to grow from $24.05 billion in 2024 to $356.84 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 27.786% during the forecast period 2024-20351.
Edge processing is becoming cheaper, more powerful, and more energy efficient.
Edge AI Technologies
The Consult Red team are experts in the technologies that enable performant and flexible Edge AI solutions:
Edge Computing
Foundational technology that brings computation closer to the data source, reducing latency and improving speed.
Sensor Fusion
Combines data from multiple sensors to create a unified understanding of the environment, enabling more accurate AI-driven insights.
Presence Detection
Identifies and tracks the presence of individuals in a defined space. Applicable for industrial, retail, and home applications.
Large/Small Language Models
Advanced AI models enable edge devices to understand and process human language, improving voice interactions and automation.
Taking AI to the Edge
Here are some examples of how we are applying the transformative capabilities of Edge AI for our customers
Smart Vision
Smart vision applications transform how we see, monitor and interact with the world.
AI Enablement
AI-driven devices, products and systems that accelerate innovation and offer real value to end users.
Intelligent Home
From presence detection to smart devices, Edge AI makes homes more responsive, secure, and efficient.
Smart Vision solutions transform industries by enabling machines to see, interpret, and respond to their environment in real-time. Smart Vision provides an unparalleled opportunity to leverage image-driven insights for businesses looking to enhance automation, improve operational efficiency, or deliver new value to their customers.
From industrial applications, such as quality inspection and autonomous systems, to consumer applications, such as smart home devices and security, Smart Vision is at the forefront of innovation.
Benefits of Smart Vision
Smart Vision enabled solutions bring several key benefits:
- Real-Time Insights: Critical decisions are made faster, enabling real-time detection, analysis, and response across a wide range of applications.
- Increased Efficiency: Automated visual systems reduce the need for manual intervention, enhancing productivity and accuracy in environments like manufacturing, surveillance, and healthcare.
- Scalable Solutions: Smart Vision solutions can be easily integrated into existing operations and scaled to meet growing needs, whether in industrial, commercial, or consumer environments.
The demand for ever smarter and increasingly intuitive devices is reshaping industries, and companies are pressured to integrate AI capabilities seamlessly into their products. Our AI Enablement services bridge this gap, equipping businesses with the tools, expertise, and strategies they need to implement AI at the edge, enhancing their devices with intelligence that adapts, learns, and reacts in real-time.
With our extensive experience in embedded software, hardware, and cloud consultancy, we empower clients to deliver sophisticated, AI-driven solutions that accelerate innovation and offer real value to end users.
Why AI Enablement?
AI has revolutionised product capabilities, creating a new wave of intelligent devices that can perform complex tasks, adapt to changing conditions, and deliver enriched user experiences. AI Enablement is essential to:
- Enhance Product Value: AI-powered features, such as predictive maintenance, real-time analytics, and advanced automation, offer new levels of value and functionality.
- Increase Efficiency and Accuracy: AI-enabled devices can process data locally, optimising resources, minimising latency, and improving accuracy for time-critical applications.
- Drive Innovation and Market Differentiation: Companies that successfully integrate AI stand out in a competitive market, with more intelligent, more capable devices.
Smart homes have made progress in automating simple tasks like turning on lights or adjusting the thermostat, but they’re still reactive.
Intelligent homes, on the other hand, go beyond automation. They understand user behaviour, predict needs, and adapt accordingly.
Instead of just controlling devices, intelligent homes can forecast what needs to happen based on data. This transformation is powered by something you already control: Wi-Fi. In fact, Wi-Fi becomes the lifeblood of this intelligent future, ensuring that the home operates seamlessly, stays in sync, and anticipates what’s next.
Benefits of the Intelligent Home
Intelligent home services provide solutions to the challenges that many consumers face today:
- Security: Presence and identity data can significantly enhance security systems, reducing false alarms and ensuring that the right people are monitored at the right time.
- Health: By monitoring activity in the home, intelligent systems can identify abnormal behaviour—like falls—potentially preventing emergencies.
- Energy: Heating systems can be smarter too. By predicting presence, your customers can enjoy optimal comfort while also saving energy.
- Convenience: Imagine walking into a room and having the lighting, content, and environment adapt to your preferences automatically. This is what the intelligent home offers: seamless convenience.
