What makes IoT/AI different?

 

IoT/AI’s Pico Anywhere SuiteTM is a family of devices, hardware and software modules, sensors, and IoT/AI’s Mesh-xOSTM operating system that provides an ultra-secure and redundantly indestructible set of capabilities for challenging and constrained edge use cases. The Mesh-xOSTM is a cognitive AI-based meshing system that provisions comms, collaboration, sensing, distributed AI/ML, location services, and cyber threat detection through a dedicated, swarm, and/or cooperative learning system to provide self-healing and self-configuration mesh IT services anywhere. The system is fully interoperable via open standards and Open APIs or for those real challenging conditions can maintain last know operational intent without dependencies on clouds, networks or other enterprise systems.

For industrial, energy sector, emergency responders, defense, and other demanding customer environments IoT/AI, provides resiliency in degraded, inadequately connected, and high interference conditions. For these challenging use cases, Pico is a cyber resilient distributed sensor, communications, and machine intelligence system that is redundantly indestructible and unmatched at physical, electronic, and cyber threats. Pico empowers field workers, sensors, and machines with at the edge resilient decision support and human/machine teaming without dependencies on clouds, networks, etc.

Resilient Connectivity

Pico capabilities provide a self-healing and self-configuring mesh network that scales from two to over ten thousand nodes. An AI-based orchestration system ensuring resilient connectivity and continuity even in the harshest conditions. Unlike existing mesh approaches, the system revolutionizes the networking protocols, intent-based networking, and orchestration methods to provide an extremely efficient and high performance networking approach that does not degrade and bloat when adding hundreds of nodes like existing MANET and other meshing protocols do today.

Further, even if constrained and degraded RF conditions exist, the system continuously optimizes to ensure high resilient and interference resistant operations.

The Pico system is not limited by the mesh like many existing mesh protocols and methods. In fact, the Pico intelligence does not depend on the mesh to maintain collaboration and swarming between the nodes, rather the system maintains a multi-route path approach utilizing P2P, mesh, and hot path lanes based on conditions, threats, and availability. As we grow into Smart Cities, Internet of Battlefield Things, Swarming Drones, and Robotics expansions, IoT/AI’s Pico is built to meet the scale demand now, not five to ten years from now.

Sensors, Comms, Data

Pico is a sensor and comms platform, wearable, mountable, stationary, and embeddable. Whether you need IoT gateway for any legacy analog sensor or device, or if you need a robust sensor fusion pack and go system, the Pico family of capabilities is there for you.

For any analog or digital sensor, Pico natively supports over 4,000 sensor types, and IoT/AI has worked with and evaluate over 15,000 sensor variations. For defense we natively support all major CBRN sensors and provide a compact and portable bio/chem sensor platform that pack and goes anywhere.

Pico provides full suite of data collection, logging, inspection, and data management for the edge sensor systems to help you increase data collection frequency, data quality, and data density to accelerate your ROI and TCO on enterprise investments in AI/ML/DL, Digital Twin, Data Management Systems, and other process improvement technologies. Improved data velocity will help any learning system improve machine discovery and machine assessment quality for your day to day systems in the field and at the edge of the network.

Pico further provides a robust suite of data, voice, and rich media mesh services to enhance field and distributed edge communications, collaboration, and decision support. In defense this includes full support for Android Team Awareness Kit (ATAK) and other TAK services.

 
 

Mesh IT Service Layers for the Edge

IoT/AI’s AI-based distributed intelligence to ensure continuous mesh IT layers in any condition anywhere

Self-Healing, Self-Configuring, Self-Adapting

Pico capabilities provide a full stack of mesh services from the socket layers through to the applications to ensure distributed operations and collaboration between humans, humans and sensors, and humans and machines.

Customers seeking an easy to use set of IoT, IIoT, IoBT, or IoMT set of services to connect, collect data, process data, and manage at the edge without having to integrate numerous vendors or tech silos, then Pico is a great alternative to consider.

The intelligent mesh IT service layers help you orchestrate the workflows, processes, and intent-based operations you desire through Open APIs and easy to configure modules.

The mesh IT services help enable connectivity, communications, collaboration, application serving, application execution, data management, AI/ML processing, situational awareness, location services (even GPS denied), and decision support services anywhere even in high interference, constrained, and austere conditions. Pico gives you an easy to use pack and go set of capabilities where you need it most, while maintaining full interoperability into any uplink, any sensor, any local system, and any upstream enterprise or cloud system.

Edge AI/Ml, Distributed AI

Pico is unmatched at distributed AI/ML processing and learning system intelligence at the edge of degraded, constrained, and inadequately connected scenarios. The massively scalable system provides an AI-based learning system orchestration capability where you execute AI/ML models at sensor edge, distributed across the mesh, or integrated into a broader distributed edge-cloud-edge closed loop environment. The distributed AI/ML capabilities scales to thousands of nodes without dependencies on networks, regional servers, or clouds. Yet, is fully interoperable and easy to integrate to your upstream systems.

More importantly for those challenging, constrained and degraded conditions in industrial, defense, energy, distributed field worker conditions, or in metal rich and high interference conditions, the Pico distributed AI/ML capabilities provide resilient and self-healing AI/ML processing locally across multi-kilometers without dependencies on clouds, regional servers, or networks. This is important for Extreme IoT like edge use cases are often constrained by inadequate connectivity (whether RF or SATCOM), limited power and battery systems, size/weight considerations, edge security/cyber threats, GPS denied conditions, and user safety considerations. Pico unlocks and unleashes AI/ML at the edge and across the distributed edge nodes to help you realize the potential now, not five to ten years from now.

Pico has pioneered a “far edge” processing method that goes beyond “edge compute” enterprise LAN and WAN processing approaches, and one that improves AI/ML processing performance at the edge while maintaining ultra-low power consumption. This allows for ultra low size/weight/power wearable, mountable, and pack and go anywhere AI/ML decision support for the local users.

Pico’s distributed AI/ML projects have included at the edge object detection, health exposure (heat stress, noise, etc), anomaly detection, condition-based monitoring (flow control valve, etc), and many more algorithmic-based data inspection, classification, and interrogation models.
