UQAB SAQR EDGE

Intelligent monitoring powered by on-device machine vision — one platform for ground machinery and aerial systems.

SAQR

Aerial & Ground

Real-time intelligence where the camera flies

The Problem

Cloud video streaming does not scale at the edge

Most computer vision stacks send HD video to central servers. That demands constant high-bandwidth connectivity, drives recurring transmission costs, and adds latency that breaks real-time safety use cases.

SAQR EDGE runs the full inference pipeline on-device. Video is captured, analysed, and discarded locally. Only critical events and structured analytics leave the site — over 4G/5G.

UQAB SAQR EDGE — ground and aerial

Core Innovation

Analyse at the edge. Transmit only what matters.

On-device inference — only critical events leave the site
01

No HD cloud streams

Eliminate dependency on expensive, always-on high-bandwidth links.

02

Instant alerts

Send structured events, metadata, and alerts in real time via 4G/5G.

03

Fast to deploy

Retrofit existing machines or drones — simple integration via API.

Deploy in Two Parts

Upgrade existing equipment — not your fleet

01 · AI compute unit

Compact edge AI module with proprietary, optimised software pre-installed — ready for local inference.

02 · Industrial camera

A compact industrial camera pairs with the compute unit for cabin, site, or aerial mounting.

Applications

One stack. Two environments.

Ground machinery cabin with SAQR EDGE monitoring
01

Ground machinery

Cabin-mounted AI tracks operator activity and work processes — work/idle logging, load counts, loading time, and alerts for personnel in hazard zones.

30% productivity uplift potential

02

Aerial / drones

Edge module on UAVs (e.g. DJI Matrice class) for fire & smoke detection with geotagged alarms — pipeline ready from detection to operator alert.

85%+ detection accuracy (target coverage)

Why SAQR EDGE

Human-in-the-loop. Hardware-agnostic. Edge-native.

Retrofit, not replace

Works on existing machinery and drones — not tied to a single OEM.

Works offline

Edge inference continues without streaming HD video to the cloud.

Ground + air

One platform for terrestrial equipment and aerial inspection missions.

Private deployment

Local models and NPU acceleration for latency-critical safety use cases.

Lean data path

Only alerts and analytics travel over cellular — fast even in remote sites.

API-ready

Simple integration into site dashboards, control towers, and workflows.
