From lab to real life
After three and a half years, our EdgeAI project, funded by Horizon Europe, wrapped up this summer with a final review in Reims, France.
The feedback? Highly positive.
We showed two demonstrators built to run AI directly on the device, no cloud needed:
▪️Demonstrator 1
Mesh Intelligent Lighting LED fixtures that read indoor air quality, predict conditions 5 minutes ahead and adjust the light automatically. Live at our office it ran with 99%+ uptime. Presented by Weronika Bak, with SINTEF.
▪️Demonstrator 2
Intelligent Water Tank Energy Optimisation, turns an ordinary hot water tank into a smart thermal battery, using an on-device neural network to heat when power is cheap or the sun is shining. Data stays on site. Presented by Ole Eilsø (Nxtenergy), with Nxtenergy, Smart Energi, SINTEF and STMicroelectronics.
Edge AI is no longer just a promising idea, it works in real buildings and real energy systems.
Thank you to all our partners!
