Deploy AI Solutions Today with Eaton

Good news: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can offer so many new opportunities and ways of doing business. Virtually every industry stands to benefit in some way from the innovative capabilities of AI. 

Bad news: AI comes with unique challenges, from security to confidentiality, legal risk to latency, and upfront cost to ROI. Historically, there hasn't been much clarity about how to resolve them, which has delayed the adoption of AI in many businesses. 

But... there's also some great news! There is an emerging area of AI technology that offers all the benefits of AI without the obstacles associated with deploying generative AI technology: Edge AI. Edge AI combines edge computing solutions with the machine learning needed to process the massive amounts of data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices. You can think of Edge AI as the perfect entrance into the world of AI. With Edge AI, you can experience advantages like efficient automation and remote infrastructure management, and it's incredibly easy to deploy. 

What are the use cases for Edge AI? Let's examine a few:

• In Healthcare settings, providers are turning to Edge AI to enhance patient monitoring and alerting, facilitate automatic escalation and intelligent routing of critical conditions, and provide real-time diagnostics and decision-making assistance.
• Retail stores are leveraging Edge AI to enhance the overall customer experience, including point-of-sale processes 
• Food and beverage manufacturers are harnessing the power of Edge AI to enhance production quality management, drive cost efficiencies, and elevate customer satisfaction

Edge AI is incredibly customizable to meet the needs of your specific business. All of the above examples, and many other use cases, employ a core application of Edge AI: remote infrastructure management. With remote infrastructure management, you gain deep insight into the operation and status of the technology installed in your building, and you're able to evaluate and make changes as needed, no matter where you are. 

Eaton's infrastructure solutions and support capabilities align perfectly with Edge AI applications. Eaton offers remote infrastructure management through their Brightlayer platform, which allows you to make real-time decisions remotely to optimize power management across your business. Pair Brightlayer with solutions like Eaton's UPSs in the 5 to 50 kW range, high-power PDUs, sturdy rack enclosures, and cable management and connectivity, and you've got an efficient Edge AI setup for your building. It's the perfect start to implementing AI in your processes.
