NTT DATA Unveils New Edge AI Platform to Drive Industry 4.0 Technologies
NTT DATA has recently announced the launch of its innovative Edge AI platform, aimed at accelerating the convergence of IT and OT by bringing AI processing to the edge. This cutting-edge solution is designed to process data at the point of generation, enabling real-time decision-making, enhanced operational efficiencies, and secure AI application deployment across various industries.
While the focus has been on advanced AI technologies like GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs), these solutions are not always practical for industries requiring real-time and local decision-making capabilities. NTT DATA’s Edge AI platform addresses this challenge by utilizing smaller, more efficient machine learning models to process massive data sets on compact computing platforms, delivering real-time AI insights.
The Edge AI platform is a fully managed service that includes all the necessary systems, tools, and capabilities for AI deployment at the edge. It covers data discovery, collection, integration, computation power, connectivity, and AI model management, making it a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to leverage AI technologies effectively.
NTT DATA’s Edge AI platform is supported by a team of consulting data scientists, managed services, and global technical resources, making it a reliable and secure option for businesses looking to harness the power of AI at the edge. With a focus on industry-specific requirements, the platform leverages cost-effective AI models to support tasks such as predictive maintenance, energy consumption optimization, and operational efficiency improvements.
According to industry experts, the global spending on edge computing is expected to reach $232 billion by 2024, driven by the increasing number of connected IoT devices worldwide. NTT DATA is well-positioned to capture a significant market share with its Edge AI platform, which offers a free 30-day discovery and diagnostic service to help clients assess their IT and OT environments.
Overall, NTT DATA’s Edge AI platform represents a significant leap forward in driving AI adoption at the edge securely and cost-effectively, helping organizations modernize with tailored, industry-specific solutions.
