With this combined capability ADLINK Edge™ software enables the industrial AI development environment and makes deployment and integration faster, easier and more cost effective so customers can optimize operational efficiency and drive business value from their solutions.
Plug and Play: Hardware & Software
ADLINK Edge™ Machine Vision AI software is available on all ADLINK Intel® and NVIDIA® hardware and is ready to deploy out of the box allowing users to scale up and plug in new AI functionality as it develops and to meet evolving needs.
Our extensive range of plug-and-play hardware and software enables a faster, easier and scalable starting point for machine vision AI deployments at the edge. Our one platform approach can then be scaled for industrial requirements using the same software but deployed on more powerful hardware as needed. This gives customers the ultimate future-proofed flexibility.
ADLINK Edge™ machine vision AI software is available throughout our range from our smart cameras to our embedded vision systems, deep learning platforms and training servers.

Simply Connect, Stream & Control
Based on open standard and open architecture, ADLINK Edge ensures vision data can connect easily and securely to AI inference engines for real-time results.
-
Machine Vision at the Edge
AI at the edge enables ultra fast intelligence and automation by deploying vision data closest to its source and in real-time removing latency.
-
Scalable, Plug & Play Hardware
ADLINK’s range of hardware comes ready to deploy with ADLINK Edge™ allowing you to scale up and plug in new AI functionality as it develops and to meet your evolving needs.
-
Flex, Scale & Evolve with our Ecosystem
ADLINK Edge™ integrates with technology from our deep partner ecosystem to deliver machine learning for vision at the edge and enabling you to build, scale, learn and update easily.
ADLINK Edge™ Vision Apps
ADLINK Edge™ software includes the ADLINK Marketplace containing an ever-growing number of apps built by ADLINK or its partners to create solutions.
These include connectors enabling third party services to translate between devices and applications, or devices and peer devices. Using these apps, solution architects can use best-in-class technologies appropriate to solve the particular business problem they face.
ADLINK manages its own apps and their lifecycles, through its close relationships with technical partners to ensure all solution builders are up to date with the latest features and assured that commercial support is available. In addition, solution builders are able to re-sell apps they create via the ADLINK marketplace, providing access to world-wide markets and new revenue streams.

-
Profile Builder
The ADLINK Edge™ Profile Builder manages the deployment and operation of ADLINK Edge™ Solutions.
-
-
Stream Viewer
Receives video frames and inference results from the ADLINK Data River™ and combines them into a single video stream that can be viewed with the Profile Builder or an RTSP Viewer.
-
-
Vision Pipeline
The Vision Pipeline reads video frames directly from the camera (note: other apps available for distributed cameras) and performs a sequence of functions including resizing, primary inference, secondary inference, tracking and pushing the result to the ADLINK Data River™
-
-
Model Manager
Facilitates AI inference model deployment by storing models locally for the inference engine to load via the ADLINK Data River™. Models can be uploaded to the Model Manager via the Profile Builder application.
-
-
Training Streamer
Facilitates the capturing of images for the purposes of training AI models. Images can be captured to a local file system and/or can be uploaded to an FTP/SFTP server.
-
-
Node-RED
Reads inference results from the ADLINK Data River™ and takes action in real-time based on what the user graphically modelled using the Node-RED framework
-
-
OT Connect
Control operational equipment at the factory floor using a wide range of supported fieldbus protocols, like Modbus, OPC/UA, Ethernet/IP and more.
-
-
Cloud Connect
Connect to any Cloud Service Provider and integrate with their platforms.
-
-
Historian Connect
Record time series results over long periods of time on disk for inspection and analysing trends at a later point in time.
ADLINK Edge™ Vision Data Flow
ADLINK Edge™ Machine Vision AI software is pre-installed on ADLINK hardware and is also available as a software-only bundle for Ubuntu systems. Below you can find an example vision data flow using ADLINK Edge™ apps and the ADLINK Data River™ to sense, reason and act within a solution.

Get Started With A Digital Experiment
