WHY IT MATTERS

The gap between edge and cloud, in numbers.

ABOUT METALBRAINS

Built at the intersection of silicon, software and intelligence.

MetalBrains brings together experience across semiconductors, embedded systems, automotive, IoT and AI to explore practical intelligent systems for the physical world. The work spans from model design down to the constraints of the silicon it has to run on — because an edge system is only as good as its weakest layer.

PRODUCT · INTELLIGENT CAMERAS

Cameras that don't need to ask the cloud what they just saw.

Vision hardware with inference built in — a camera that classifies, counts and flags on-device, so a decision is made in the same moment the frame is captured.

Intelligent Cameras
Detections / sec
48
Inference latency
6.8ms
Uptime
99.94%

What it does

On-device inferenceDetection and classification run locally — no round trip to a server before a decision can be made.

Works offlineKeeps functioning through network drops, since nothing about the core decision depends on connectivity.

Privacy by defaultRaw footage can stay on-device; only the result of the decision needs to leave, if anything does.

Built for real scenesTuned for the lighting, motion and clutter of an actual deployment site, not a clean lab bench.

← Back to Products
PRODUCT · EDGE AI GATEWAYS

One box, many sensors, one place decisions get made.

A gateway that sits between a site's sensors and the network — aggregating feeds and running inference locally, so the site keeps working even when the link to anywhere else doesn't.

What it does

Multi-sensor aggregationBring cameras, IoT sensors and industrial signals into a single local inference point.

Local-first decisionsThe gateway can act immediately; the cloud connection stays useful, not required.

Fleet-readyBuilt to be deployed across many sites and managed centrally when a connection does exist.

Protocol flexibleSpeaks the mix of protocols an existing site already uses, rather than demanding a rebuild.

PRODUCT · VISION INTELLIGENCE

Perception tuned to the mess of the real world.

Computer vision models built and evaluated against the conditions they'll actually run in — variable light, occlusion, motion — rather than a curated benchmark dataset.

Latency

What it does

Scene-specific tuningModels adapted to the actual camera angle, lighting and clutter of a deployment, not a generic dataset.

Robust to occlusionDesigned to stay useful when the view is partial, not just when it's ideal.

Compact by designSized to run within the compute and power budget of the edge device it ships on.

Explainable outputDetections come with confidence and context, not just a black-box label.

PRODUCT · INDUSTRIAL AI

Intelligence for the plant floor, not the office.

PRODUCT · SMART SENSORS

Sensors that filter noise before it becomes your problem.

PRODUCT · ROBOTICS

Perception fast enough to live inside the control loop.

Perception and control intelligence for machines that move — built to sit inside the control loop itself, where a delayed decision is a missed grip or a bad step, not just a slow response.
