Agricultural intelligence
ForgeAware-AG: local AI decisions with a visible evidence trail.
ForgeAware-AG is a purpose-built observability application running on the ForgeEdge AI Core. It connects agricultural telemetry, system health, historical measurements and AI decision outcomes in one local engineering view.
- Greenhouse and root-zone telemetry
- Evidence-to-decision traceability
- Daily, weekly and seasonal analysis
- Local operation without a cloud dependency
Robotics & logistics
Perception and mission logic close to the sensors.
Autonomous systems lose time and resilience when every sensor stream must travel to a central computer or cloud service. Edge processing can filter, fuse and interpret data before publishing compact decisions to the wider platform.
Relevant building blocks include event-based vision, multi-sensor synchronization, inertial processing, embedded compute modules and rugged mission computers.
- Ground robot sensing and embedded processing
- Object and motion perception
- Terrain-aware navigation support
- Local health and fault monitoring
Defense & field systems
Low-latency sensing and synchronized evidence.
Vehicle and field applications need dependable local computing and a consistent view of sensor data. Alvexis develops rugged electronics, multi-sensor interfaces and embedded software around the environmental and integration requirements of each project.
- Event and frame camera integration
- Thermal and inertial fusion
- FPGA preprocessing and local inference
- Recorded datasets for validation
Industrial reliability
Condition monitoring and legacy integration.
Factories and remote assets often need better sensing without replacing the installed control system. Wireless vibration nodes and isolated protocol gateways add observability while preserving existing equipment.
- Predictive-maintenance pilots
- CAN, RS-422 and RS-485 integration
- Remote equipment status
- Data concentration and logging

Field operations
Resilient coordination outside public networks.
Handheld, relay and command-gateway components support short messages, position and emergency status for teams operating in difficult terrain or damaged infrastructure.
Verification systems
Reproduce faults and prove behavior.
Timestamped CAN, Ethernet and discrete-I/O logging creates a synchronized record for electronics bring-up, acceptance testing and intermittent fault analysis.
