Altos Computing Ltd has entered into a strategic partnership with Industry.AI (a BLP Group company) to roll out YodaEdge™, a secure, scalable, and sovereign edge AI platform that brings real-time artificial intelligence directly to industrial and urban environments across India. Built on NVIDIA accelerated computing, YodaEdge™ is designed to help manufacturers, MSMEs, and infrastructure operators implement AI at the point of action, supporting India’s goal of building a strong, manufacturing-driven economy.
As India moves toward becoming a $7 trillion economy, manufacturing, MSMEs, and critical infrastructure are playing an increasingly important role in boosting productivity, exports, and employment. However, AI adoption in these sectors has been slowed by challenges such as dependence on cloud infrastructure, latency issues, data security concerns, and the complexity of deploying AI in industrial settings. YodaEdge™ overcomes these barriers through an edge-first, on-premises architecture that delivers enterprise-grade AI with low latency, high reliability, and complete control over sensitive operational data.
YodaEdge™ combines Industry.AI’s Orion industrial AI platform with Altos’ edge-optimized infrastructure servers, powered by NVIDIA GPUs and AI software. This pre-configured “AI in a Box” solution enables organizations to run advanced AI workloads locally, reducing dependence on remote cloud systems and aligning with India’s priorities for data localization and technological self-reliance.
Commenting on the collaboration, Priya Murthy, Director of Altos India, said that India’s next phase of digital and industrial development will depend on embedding intelligence into physical infrastructure. She noted that through its workstation portfolio, Altos aims to deliver data-center-level AI performance at the edge, where latency, reliability, and security are essential. The partnership with Industry.AI on YodaEdge™ allows enterprises to deploy scalable, sovereign AI solutions suited for real industrial environments.
Designed specifically for factory floors and distributed infrastructure, YodaEdge™ supports several high-impact applications. These include computer vision-based safety monitoring for detecting unsafe conditions and PPE violations in real time, predictive maintenance models that analyze machine behavior to reduce unplanned downtime, and AI-powered knowledge assistants that provide instant access to operating procedures, manuals, and maintenance history at the point of use. Industry data shows that AI-based safety systems can reduce incidents by up to 70%, while predictive maintenance can cut downtime by as much as 50%.
The platform also focuses on accelerating AI adoption among India’s MSMEs, which account for more than 35% of GDP and nearly half of manufacturing output. By simplifying deployment, shortening implementation timelines, and delivering measurable returns within operational cycles, YodaEdge™ lowers the barriers that have traditionally limited AI adoption among smaller enterprises.
Tejpreet Chopra, Founder and CEO of Industry.AI, said that for AI to deliver real value in manufacturing and infrastructure, it must operate where decisions are made—on factory floors and at the edge. He explained that YodaEdge™, powered by Orion OS and informed by years of AI implementation across sectors such as automotive, steel, and airports, brings advanced industrial intelligence to the edge. With proprietary machine language models and autonomous agents, it provides real-time insights with the reliability and security enterprises require. Partnering with Altos enables this capability to scale across India, helping organizations shift from reactive operations to intelligence-driven decision-making.
YodaEdge™ runs on Altos workstations powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and uses the NVIDIA AI software stack, including CUDA, TensorRT, and NVIDIA NIM microservices for local deployment of vision, language, and generative AI models. This setup enables Physical AI use cases in which AI systems interact directly with machines, sensors, and physical environments in real time.
As adoption grows across manufacturing hubs, MSMEs, and critical infrastructure, the partnership between Altos Computing Ltd and Industry.AI positions YodaEdge™ as a core AI platform for India’s next stage of industrial expansion.
Altos India continues to focus on AI-based servers, workstations, and general-purpose computing nodes, helping enterprises, research institutions, and data-driven organizations scale advanced workloads with high reliability and performance.
