New Delhi: Altos Computing Ltd, an Acer Group company, has announced a strategic partnership with Industry.AI, part of BLP Group, to deploy YodaEdge, a secure, scalable, and sovereign edge AI platform designed to bring real-time artificial intelligence directly to industrial and urban environments across India.
Powered by accelerated computing from NVIDIA, YodaEdge aims to help manufacturers, MSMEs, and infrastructure operators operationalise AI at the point of action while supporting India’s ambition of building a resilient, manufacturing-led economy.
As India advances towards a ₹7-trillion economy, the contribution of manufacturing, MSMEs, and critical infrastructure to productivity, exports, and employment continues to grow.
However, AI adoption across these sectors has remained limited due to cloud dependency, latency constraints, data security concerns, and the complexity of deploying AI in industrial environments.

YodaEdge addresses these challenges through an edge-first, on-premises architecture that delivers enterprise-grade AI capabilities with low latency, high reliability, and full control over operational data.
The YodaEdge platform integrates Industry.AI’s Orion industrial AI platform with Altos edge-optimised infrastructure servers, accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs and AI software.
This pre-integrated “AI in a Box” solution enables enterprises to deploy advanced AI workloads locally, reducing reliance on distant cloud infrastructure while aligning with India’s priorities around data localisation and technological self-reliance.
By enabling faster implementation cycles, YodaEdge is designed to make AI deployment more practical for industrial environments.
Commenting on the partnership, Priya Murthy, Director, Altos India, said: “India’s next phase of digital and industrial growth will depend on how effectively intelligence is embedded into physical infrastructure.
Through our Altos portfolio of workstations, we are focused on delivering data centre-grade AI performance at the edge, where latency, reliability, and security are critical.
Our collaboration with Industry.AI on YodaEdge enables enterprises to deploy scalable, sovereign AI solutions that are practical, resilient, and designed for real industrial environments.”
YodaEdge: Built Specifically for Factory Floors and Distributed Infrastructure
Built specifically for factory floors and distributed infrastructure, YodaEdge supports use cases such as computer-vision-based safety monitoring for real-time detection of unsafe conditions and PPE non-compliance, predictive maintenance models that analyse machine behaviour to reduce unplanned downtime, and AI-powered knowledge assistants that provide instant access to operating procedures and maintenance records at the point of use.
Industry benchmarks indicate that AI-led safety systems can reduce incidents by up to 70%, while predictive maintenance can cut downtime by as much as 50%. These capabilities position YodaEdge as a practical AI deployment platform for real-world industrial operations.
The platform also aims to accelerate AI adoption among India’s MSMEs, which contribute more than 35% of GDP and nearly half of manufacturing output.

By simplifying deployment, reducing implementation timelines, and delivering measurable ROI within operational cycles, YodaEdge lowers the barriers that have traditionally prevented smaller enterprises from adopting AI at scale.
Tejpreet Chopra, Founder and CEO of Industry.AI, said: “For AI to create real value in manufacturing and infrastructure, it must operate where decisions are made — on the factory floor and at the edge. YodaEdge is built for exactly this reality.
Powered by Orion OS, the operating system for manufacturing, and informed by years of hands-on AI implementation across automotive, steel, airports, and more, YodaEdge brings unmatched industrial intelligence to the edge.
With proprietary machine language models and autonomous agents, it delivers real-time insights with the reliability and security enterprises demand.
Partnering with Altos allows us to scale this capability across India, helping organisations move from reactive operations to intelligence-driven decision-making.”
YodaEdge runs on Altos workstations powered by NVIDIA accelerated computing and the NVIDIA AI software stack, including CUDA, TensorRT, and NVIDIA NIM microservices for local deployment of vision, language, and generative AI models.
This architecture enables Physical AI use cases where AI systems interact directly with machines, sensors, and physical environments in real time.
As deployments expand across manufacturing clusters, MSMEs, and infrastructure environments, YodaEdge is positioned as a foundational AI platform for India’s next phase of industrial growth.
Altos India continues to focus on AI-based servers, workstations, and general-purpose compute nodes to help enterprises, research institutions, and data-driven organisations scale advanced workloads reliably. With the introduction of YodaEdge, the company aims to strengthen industrial AI adoption across India.
