AI & AUTOMATION / SYSTEM NODEEdge AI Deployment

AI that runs on the device, not the cloud.

We optimise and deploy machine learning models to embedded systems, IoT hardware, and mobile — enabling real-time inference without cloud dependency.

WHAT WE BUILD

Edge AI Deployment, engineered as an operating system.

Scope follows the real workflow, environment, failure modes, and ownership model rather than a fixed vendor package.

01

Model Quantisation & Pruning

Reducing model precision and removing redundant parameters to meet the memory and compute constraints of your target hardware without material accuracy loss.

  • INT8 / FP16 quantisation
  • Structured & unstructured pruning
  • Accuracy delta measurement
02

Runtime Conversion

Converting trained models to ONNX, TFLite, CoreML, or TensorRT for deployment on your specific hardware target, including custom operator handling.

  • Multi-runtime support
  • Custom op implementation
  • Numerical equivalence testing
03

Embedded Integration

Integrating inference pipelines into firmware and embedded Linux environments — handling I/O, preprocessing, and postprocessing on-device.

  • Firmware integration
  • C++ inference wrapper
  • Preprocessing on-device
04

IoT Fleet Deployment

Deploying and managing models across fleets of IoT devices — with OTA update pipelines that do not require physical access to each device.

  • OTA update pipeline
  • Rollback capability
  • Version management
05

Performance Benchmarking

Systematic measurement of latency, throughput, peak memory, and thermal behaviour under sustained load on real target hardware.

  • Real hardware testing
  • p50 / p99 latency
  • Thermal profiling
DELIVERY SEQUENCE

From unknowns to production evidence.

01

Hardware Audit

Assess your target device — memory, compute, power budget, OS — to define exactly what the model can cost and what performance is achievable.

Target Device Hardware Spec
02

Model Optimisation

Quantisation (INT8/FP16), structured pruning, and knowledge distillation to bring the model within hardware constraints with minimal accuracy loss.

TECHNICAL FAQ

Questions worth resolving before delivery.

01How much accuracy loss should we expect after quantisation?+

Quantisation impact varies by architecture, dataset, hardware, and target precision. We benchmark FP32 against the proposed optimised model on your own evaluation set before agreeing a deployment target.

02Which hardware targets have you deployed to?+

NVIDIA Jetson, Coral TPU, Raspberry Pi, various ARM Cortex-M devices, Apple Silicon (CoreML), and Android/iOS. The approach differs significantly by hardware class.

03Can you work with our existing embedded Linux setup?+

Yes. We integrate into your existing firmware and build system rather than requiring you to change your hardware stack.

04What if our target device doesn't support a standard runtime?+

We have implemented custom inference engines for non-standard targets. The feasibility depends on your device's compute and memory — we assess this in the hardware audit before committing.
