Bringing AI to the edge

Our Karman platform makes it easy to embed AI in edge devices.

Operating on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, Karman makes data available for accelerated computing at the edge and trains models locally.

The future of infrastructure is AI-embedded.

We’re transforming the way industries operate, starting with the electric grid, by unlocking new data sources and bringing AI capabilities from the cloud to devices.

Utilidata captures robust, high-quality data at the meter to help utilities make smarter real-time decisions.

We partnered with NVIDIA, the world leader in accelerated computing and AI, to enable a connected grid that delivers clean and reliable energy.
