Edge AI
Automate data discovery and consolidate IoT and OT devices, sensors and systems into a single data plane for autonomous action and real-time decision-making.
Amplify and extend edge computing
Compute power is rapidly moving from the data center to the edge and across physical environments. And while edge computing offers immense advantage for automation, efficiency and productivity, capturing and synthesizing IT/OT data from critical devices with complex AI models on the edge, in the field and on the floor, is challenging. Edge AI from NTT DATA helps overcome these limitations.
A fully managed, real-time AI solution, Edge AI breaks down IT/OT silos to enable advanced Industry 4.0 solutions, bringing real-time, context-aware intelligence directly into physical operations. By integrating sensors, video and operational data with advanced AI models at the edge, we enable faster decision-making, reduced latency and improved privacy - critical for industrial and enterprise environments. Our approach is designed to move beyond traditional analytics and computer vision toward systems that can understand complex environments and trigger meaningful actions in real time.
PRESS RELEASE
NTT DATA unveils ultralight Edge AI platform
Break down IT/OT silos with the industry's first fully managed Edge AI solution, enabling advanced AI use cases for industrial and manufacturing functions. Integrate and synthesize data from sensors, devices and systems into a single data plane to facilitate seamless on-premises processing and real-time decisions.
Smaller Task Models, Greater AI Results
Step into the future of industry with Edge AI, where smart, secure and connected operations are a reality.
AI applications at the edge and across environments
Processing data at its source enables faster insights and more energy-efficient processing. Edge AI reduces network congestion and latency, uniting IT and OT devices, sensors, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in a single data lake for on-site processing, autonomous action and real-time decisions. We deploy AI applications at the edge and in machines in real-time for manufacturing clients using smaller, more effective learning models that are efficient to set up and run.
Physical AI through a full-stack Edge AI services model
We embed real-time, context-aware AI into physical operations by combining edge infrastructure, sensors, video and operational data within existing IT/OT environments. Using multi-sensor fusion and Physical AI, our solutions detect events, interpret context and recommend or execute next-best actions - with reduced latency and enhanced privacy. Delivered as fully managed services with built-in monitoring and continuous optimization, we help organizations scale AI-powered operations and drive measurable ROI.
A data platform that will redefine how industries leverage AI
Our edge AI platform is a pivotal development in the journey toward smarter, more connected operations. Tailored for specific industry needs, it uses lightweight, cost-effective AI models housed in ultralight computing units. It excels in tasks like enhancing security and improving operational efficiency by seamlessly integrating and analyzing data from diverse networked devices at the edge and across factories, warehouses, vehicles and field environments.
Boost cost savings with AI-driven maintenance and monitoring
Improve maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) efforts by using data from sensors, PLCs, cameras, IT, OT and IoT devices to predict, find and fix problems quickly.
