Altos Computing Ltd part of the Acer Group, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Industry.AI to roll out YodaEdge™, a secure and scalable edge AI platform tailored for industrial and urban applications across India. Built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, the platform is designed to bring real-time artificial intelligence capabilities directly to manufacturing sites, MSMEs, and infrastructure environments, supporting the country’s push toward a stronger manufacturing-driven economy.
As India works toward becoming a $7 trillion economy, manufacturing and MSMEs are expected to play a central role in boosting productivity, exports, and employment. However, widespread AI deployment has faced hurdles such as cloud reliance, latency issues, data privacy concerns, and operational complexity. YodaEdge™ addresses these constraints with an edge-focused, on-premises framework that delivers enterprise-grade AI performance while maintaining low latency, operational reliability, and full control over sensitive data.
The solution combines Industry.AI’s Orion industrial AI platform with Altos’ edge-optimised server infrastructure, enhanced by NVIDIA GPUs and AI software. Delivered as a pre-integrated “AI-in-a-Box” system, it enables organisations to deploy advanced AI workloads locally, reducing dependence on remote cloud systems and supporting India’s data localisation priorities.
Priya Murthy, Director, Altos India, stated that the next phase of industrial growth will depend on embedding intelligence into physical infrastructure. She noted that the partnership enables practical and resilient AI deployments suited for demanding real-world environments.
Tejpreet Chopra, Founder and CEO of Industry.AI, emphasised that effective AI in manufacturing must function where operational decisions are made. He highlighted that YodaEdge™, powered by Orion OS and proprietary machine language models, delivers real-time, secure intelligence across sectors such as automotive, steel, and airports.
Designed for factory floors and distributed infrastructure, YodaEdge™ supports use cases including computer vision-based safety monitoring, predictive maintenance, and AI-enabled knowledge assistants. By simplifying deployment and accelerating return on investment, the platform also aims to expand AI access among MSMEs, helping enterprises transition toward data-driven operations.
