Edge AI

Understanding the available hardware and software options and matching these to Edge AI use cases and applications requires a deep understanding of embedded systems.

Our extensive knowledge of embedded systems and AI technologies makes us ideally placed to help you navigate the challenges and help you deliver a successful solution.

The benefits of using Edge AI

The Edge AI Software market size is projected to reach USD 3363.7 Million by 2026, from USD 713.4 Million in 2019. 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.

Edge processing is becoming cheaper, more powerful, and with lower power requirements, delivering:

Lower latency
Transferring data to the cloud and back to the device takes time. Edge AI eliminates the latency, particularly important for applications that require much quicker response times, such as in smart vehicles.

Real-time analytics
Edge AI enables almost real-time analytics, taking a fraction of a second. For time-critical situations this can be crucial and potentially lifesaving.

Increased information security and privacy
With less data moving back and forth to the cloud, there are fewer chances of data being hacked. Using a closed network makes this even harder for criminals to crack.

Scalability
With the growth in connected IoT devices expected to generate 79.4ZB of data in 2025, Edge AI will ensure there isn’t a hold-up when it comes to data transfer, ensuring scalability.
