From Pilot to Production: A Blueprint for Scaling Edge AI
This white paper examines why many Edge AI initiatives fail after successful pilots and presents a practical framework for deploying AI workloads reliably across distributed environments. It outlines common deployment challenges including unreliable connectivity, harsh operating conditions, fleet management complexity, perimeter-less security, and differences between cloud training and edge inference environments. The paper recommends combining rugged, purpose-built OnLogic hardware with ZEDEDA's cloud-native orchestration platform to deliver Zero Touch provisioning, Zero Trust security, autonomous operations, workload consolidation, and hardware-optimized AI deployment. Real-world customer examples from energy, renewable energy, and automotive industries demonstrate significant improvemen
