As industries navigate digital transformation, many SMEs remain reactive in how they manage assets, quality, and energy. This talk explores how lightweight Edge AI setups—powered by NVIDIA Jetson and embedded in flexible platforms—enable small manufacturers to make the leap into predictive operations without the burden of cloud costs, data latency, or massive IT teams. 
We’ll review a few practical cases like real-time inspection, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance - demonstrating how off-the-shelf edge modules and industrial cameras can offer high ROI in real settings.
