The Edge AI deployment roadmap
The AI paradigm is undergoing a fundamental shift: moving from an R&D curiosity in the cloud to mission-critical Operational Technology (OT) running at the edge. This transition isn’t just a trend; it is a technical necessity driven by the unavoidable constraints of latency, bandwidth, and cost that plague cloud-only models in real-time environments.
“The Edge AI Deployment Roadmap: Six Predictions for AI Implementation in 2026” by OnLogic provides a concise, actionable guide to navigating this critical transition. It distills the complex landscape into six core predictions tailored for engineers and leaders who need to move AI from a successful proof-of-concept to fully operational, long-term deployments on the factory floor, in intelligent cities, and across smart grids.
Waiting until a Proof-of-Concept (POC) is complete to define hardware, security, or governance requirements guarantees friction and cost overruns. This guide will help you integrate critical considerations into the initial design phase so you can stay ahead of the competition.
-
Explore the 6 core predictions: Gain insight into the strategic shifts required for 2026, from the dominance of modular hardware to the rise of hyper-localized vision systems (VLMs).
-
Understand the technical necessities: Dive into the breakdown of why milliseconds matter and how relying on distant cloud data centers introduces unacceptable risks for industrial applications.
-
Master the hardware foundation: Learn why general-purpose hardware fails at the edge and why certified ruggedization (MIL-STD-810H) is becoming a non-negotiable baseline for 24/7 stability.
-
Get prioritized recommendations: Receive a clear strategy for implementing necessary organizational controls now to maximize scalability, security, and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over the long term.
