Outdoor Edge AI Systems

Purpose-built edge AI hardware for harsh outdoor deployments. Sealed, fanless IP66 platforms built on the Axelera Metis AI Processing Unit provide reliable, high-performance AI inference in environments exposed to dust, water and extreme operating conditions.


           

• Designed for exposed environments

• Reliable in harsh conditions

• Reduced on-site intervention

• AI anywhere, not just controlled spaces

ABOUT THIS GROUP

Controlled inference, taken outdoors.

Outdoor AI Systems extend Tranquil AI into exposed environments, enabling reliable edge AI deployment in locations where dust, moisture, temperature variation and limited physical access make conventional edge hardware difficult to operate.

Sealed to IP66 and designed without fans or other moving parts, these platforms minimise the ingress of dust and water while reducing maintenance requirements. The result is reliable operation with less need for on-site intervention, particularly in remote, outdoor and infrastructure-heavy deployments.

Both platforms are powered by the Axelera Metis AI Processing Unit, delivering efficient multi-stream computer-vision inference at the edge.

Each platform supports controlled configuration options OS deployment, software preload and branding that do not alter the certified platform baseline. Where a requirement needs engineering change, engagement transitions to Tranquil Studio.

CONFIGURATION & ESCALATION

Configured to your requirements. Built on a proven platform.

Controlled configuration

Every platform supports controlled configuration options, including OS imaging, software preloading and customer branding, without altering the certified platform baseline. These standard services enable systems to be deployment-ready while maintaining the integrity and consistency of the validated platform.

When engineering changes are required

Requirements that introduce mechanical, thermal, electronic or certification changes transition to Tranquil Studio through a structured engineering process. This ensures bespoke development is delivered under clear governance, while standard Tranquil AI platforms remain controlled, validated and repeatable.
