The software platform for edge AI.
Connect sensors, deploy AI models, and automate smart systems. Prototype in days, without building the infrastructure from scratch.
Overview
From hardware to insight, faster.
NEPI handles roughly 90% of what most smart systems need out of the box. Teams use low-code scripting to build the remaining 10% - their specific automation application.

Connect. Detect. Automate. Deploy.
From first install to production deployment in four moves.
Connect
Plug in sensors, cameras, and actuators. Drivers handle recognition and configuration automatically.
Detect
Deploy AI models for object detection, tracking, and classification at the edge.
Automate
Build workflows that turn detections into logging, alerts, and control actions.
Deploy
Deploy to any Linux machine. Same container, any environment.
Plug-and-play hardware integration
Connect cameras, sensors, navigation systems, and actuators without writing driver code. NEPI's standardized interfaces recognize and configure supported hardware automatically, so your team starts collecting data in minutes.
Deploy AI models at the edge
Load your trained models or use built-in detection frameworks. NEPI manages how models connect to live sensor data, share outputs, and trigger downstream automation. No custom pipeline code required.
Low-code event-driven workflows
Transform AI detections into automated real-time workflows. Log data, send alerts, activate indicators, control motors and robots without deep software expertise.
Browser-based control and monitoring
Configure devices, run applications, and view live results from any device with a web browser. NEPI's resident UI provides dashboards for system status, sensor feeds, AI outputs, and data management.
Built for every sector
Research labs, classrooms, production environments. Same platform, same capabilities.
