ByteSnap Design to demonstrate edge AI vision system at engineering events

Birmingham-based embedded systems consultancy ByteSnap Design will showcase a live edge AI vision system at two UK engineering events this month, demonstrating real-time object detection running entirely on embedded hardware without cloud processing.

The company will exhibit at Design Engineering Expo, part of Smart Manufacturing Week at the NEC Birmingham on 3 and 4 June, and at Hardware Pioneers Max at Excel London on 10 and 11 June.

The demonstration uses an embedded camera system and rotating turntable powered by an Infineon PSOC Edge device to detect and identify objects in real time. Results are displayed instantly on screen, highlighting how computer vision and machine learning inference can be deployed on low-power embedded systems.

ByteSnap Design said the technology is designed for applications including machine vision, predictive maintenance and industrial automation, where processing data locally can reduce latency and remove the need for cloud connectivity.

Dunstan Power, co-founder and director at ByteSnap Design, said: “Interest in edge AI has accelerated rapidly over the last 12 months, particularly from manufacturers looking at machine vision and intelligent embedded systems.

“What we’re demonstrating at the shows is real-time AI inference running directly on embedded hardware, without relying on cloud processing. For many applications, that fundamentally changes what’s possible in a deployed product.”

The company’s embedded AI development work includes computer vision, machine learning model optimisation and firmware integration across platforms including NVIDIA Jetson, Infineon PSOC Edge, NXP i.MX and STM32.

Alongside the edge AI demonstration, ByteSnap Design will discuss support for manufacturers migrating products from legacy 2G and 3G networks to 4G LTE and 5G technologies. Services include antenna redesign, firmware updates, RF optimisation and certification management.

The company will also highlight embedded security services covering security patching, vulnerability management and compliance support for regulations and standards including the Cyber Resilience Act, MDR and IEC 62443.

Founded in 2008, ByteSnap Design provides embedded systems engineering consultancy services to manufacturers and technology companies.
