Building the software foundation that moves
the physical world
IDEIN'S MISSION
Making every piece of information in the physical world computable
Our technology
Edge AI: perceiving and controlling physical spaceWe develop AI that perceives physical space by analysing images, audio and radar data, as well as AI for tasks such as vehicle path control. We hold deep expertise in building edge AI that runs on hardware with limited resources.

Product: deploying and operating software remotelyWe develop and operate Actcast, a product that provides the shared capabilities needed to deploy software that perceives and controls physical space across devices in the field, and to run it remotely at scale.

PRODUCT
Everything required to operate edge devices remotely, at scale, on one platform
Actcast provides shared capabilities — software distribution, operations, monitoring, authentication, data transfer and security — across large fleets of edge devices. Customers no longer build or run the undifferentiated common layer, and can focus solely on where they add value.

FORWARD DEPLOYED ENGINEERING
Our engineers work alongside you, from framing the problem to running it for years
Our engineers work directly on your problem. We think through what should actually be solved and how, until it produces results — then implement the system using Actcast and our own AI technology, faster and to a higher standard than building from scratch. We also take on long-term operation after launch.
