Edge AI Applications

The high data-driven nature of IoT (Internet of Things) systems calls for the need for technologies such as edge AI (Edge computing and Artificial Intelligence). Today, businesses realize the fact that edge AI is crucial not only because it is revolutionizing industries but also because it is our ultimate future. The technology gains much attention at present as it enables processing of data at the edge, i.e. directly on the device or on the server near the device instead of the cloud, thereby reducing latency in making critical decisions, increasing the speed of processing tasks and mitigating any delayed communication with the cloud. In addition, it reduces bandwidth requirement and cost by processing it on site. Edge AI also offers high data security as it operates in a closed network, making it difficult to steal information. These, along with many others, are important reasons for businesses to incorporate edge in their applications.

Edge AI finds applications in many areas. Current examples include Amazon’s Alexa or Apple’s Siri, smartphones with face recognition, mapping and cartography in drones, autonomous vehicles, smart speakers, drones and robots. Implementation of edge AI is also seen in various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, retail, and more for upgrading their operations to ensure higher productivity, accuracy, efficiency, and safety. Here’s a look:

Edge AI in Healthcare –

Use of edge computing and AI in medicine helps promote patient care and operational efficiency. It also facilitates enhanced data security which is important for smart hospitals to carry out their tasks efficiently. Healthcare firms are able to perform medical tasks such as remote monitoring of patients, diagnostics, precise thermal screening, inventory management, and prediction of ailments.

Edge AI in Manufacturing –

The manufacturing industry implements edge AI to enhance and protect its processes and resources. It also seeks solutions that enhance productivity, quality, and reduce risks. For example, advanced machine vision or video analytics, an example of industrial edge AI, allows to gauge product quality with great precision. It is capable of detecting even the smallest quality deviations that almost go unnoticed with the human eye and predict machine failure to prevent bottlenecks. Thus, it helps avoid downtime and addresses problems that may lead to machine repairs and requirements.

Edge AI in Transportation –

With an aim to create smart cities where roads, vehicles and buildings communicate with one another, many technology companies adopt edge AI to provide smart cameras that assess traffic in real-time to identify obstructions in the road, reckless drivers and other situations.

Edge AI in Retail –

For long, many retail chains have been implementing customer analytics, which is based on an analysis of completed purchases, i.e. receipt data. Even if this technique helps in getting accurate results, the receipt data does not give information about how people move around the store, what they stop to watch, and the like. With the help of video analytics, retail companies can analyze anonymized data extracted from a video image and get informed about people’s purchasing behavior that can improve customer service and the overall shopping experience.

AI application at the edge is seeing a tremendous growth and companies that are investing and embracing this technology are also growing subsequently. This infers that the market for edge AI is growing by leaps and bounds and has a promising future. A report by Allied Market Research predicts that the edge AI processor market is projected to amass $9.6 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16% during the forecast period 2022-2030. The prime factors propelling the market growth are nothing but the benefits offered by Edge AI and the rise in the adoption of electronic items globally.

In a nutshell, AI on the edge is sure to increase opportunities in the future. It is primed to enhance standards across various sectors, be those standards about safety, speed or accessibility.

RedCloud is using Generative AI to unlock the future of B2B Commerce in Emerging Markets
  • Almost half of the growth in the FMCG industry over the next 3 years will take place in Emerging Markets outside of China
  • AI-powered Open commerce will be the key to FMCG’s winning in these markets
  • 90% + of B2B trade is still conducted offline, current ecommerce solutions will only go so far in bringing this trade online
  • RedCloud’s intelligent open commerce platform, which currently has over 300,000 users, empowers FMCG brands to dynamically transform trading relationships with their distribution channels and millions of micro retailers
  • With some of the largest product ranges in the world, the need for AI-powered search, order and trade is critical to cost, convenience and choice for the FMCGs in food, beverage, and essential consumer supplies.

Almost half of the growth in the FMCG industry over the next 3 years will take place in Emerging Markets outside of China. It’s a $1 trillion dollar opportunity for brands that can successfully navigate these markets. RedCloud Technologies, the company behind the world’s first open commerce platform, are bringing the latest in generative AI technology to help businesses further seize this sizable opportunity.

RedCloud has made a number of new AI expert hires and has formed several partnerships with cutting-edge AI companies. They now have number of updates to their intelligent open commerce platform in progress which include:

  • Powering their search and order functionality with large language models to reduce friction
  • Creating a new level of AI driven microtargeting for in-app campaigns and promotions
  • Utilising machine learning to create highly advanced predictive analytics
  • Augmenting their data processing operations with AI powered optimisation tools

For most businesses in the FMCG market, the ability to buy and sell efficiently is key. But in EMDEs – the areas that also have the greatest growth potential – barriers remain. RedCloud’s current platform has already created a fairer, more profitable trading system, bringing over 300,000 local merchants online for the first time, allowing them to trade instantly with their distributors and FMCGs. Their latest updates will go one step further, by fusing their search functionality with LLM’s, they will reduce the time spent ordering by over 80%. This frees up time local retailers could be using to trade in the digital economy.

It’s not just local retailers who will benefit though from the upcoming updates to the RedCloud platform. FMCG brands and distributors are also set to reap the benefits of RedCloud’s commitment to generative AI. Price volatility means businesses are often hard-pressed to keep up with the macroeconomic changes affecting their markets. RedCloud is therefore undertaking several updates to its existing dynamic pricing tools.

Their real-time data insights powered by machine learning creates automated pricing recommendations that could increase a company’s revenue by around 15%. They are also developing AI into their insights tool to allow for the creation of highly accurate predictive analytics. This will enable companies to further improve their forecasting with confidence, remaining ahead of macroeconomic curves and market trends.

RedCloud is also using generative AI to help companies reduce their advertising costs. FMCG brands can spend anything between 5%-15% of their operating budget on advertising, however on traditional channels, 90% goes unseen and conversion rates are continuing to reduce. RedCloud is supercharging its search and promotions tool  with machine learning to further improve its targeting capabilities, allowing for micro-segmentation of audiences and campaigns. This will allow companies to create more efficient and effective digital advertising campaigns, allocating spend only where it’s truly valuable.

Justin Floyd, founder and CEO of RedCloud, comments: ‘The future of B2B commerce is open and  conversational. This overcomes the lack of trust in traditional and big tech e-commerce platforms, enabling users to place orders in a familiar way and build sustainable relationships with sellers – regardless of whether there’s a human on the other end or not. ‘

RedCloud’s AI lead Daniel Chada, adds: ‘Generative AI, which includes technologies like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and language models like ChatGPT, can play a significant role in addressing the challenges of digitising B2B commerce. Managing user experience, data integration, security, privacy, and regulatory compliance, it provides a simple yet sophisticated solution to the most pressing problems faced in the FMCG space. And one that can be easily adopted in emerging markets.’

About RedCloud

RedCloud is a global technology company, headquartered in London committed to bringing commerce everywhere, especially in emerging markets, by digitally connecting FMCG brands, distributors, and merchants, enabling them to search smarter, sell better, and trade simpler.

With its proprietary Open Commerce platform, RedCloud is poised to drive economic growth in the FMCG industry by providing new levels of visibility and facilitating strategic decision-making based on real-time data analysis syndicated across the distribution chain.
