Anomaly Detection: Identifying Issues Before They Become Failures
In industries where reliability and efficiency are paramount, the ability to detect anomalies early can be the difference between smooth operations and costly failures. Anomaly detection is critical in ensuring quality assurance, equipment reliability, and system safety across a wide range of applications.
Traditional methods of detecting faults often rely on centralised cloud processing, leading to delays, high data transmission costs, and dependency on internet connectivity. By shifting anomaly detection to the edge, SmallSpark enables faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective decision-making—all while significantly reducing power consumption.
🔹 Real-Time Identification & Response – Processing data locally reduces latency by over 90%, ensuring that potential failures are flagged instantly before they escalate.
🔹 Reduced Cloud Reliance & Costs – Edge-based anomaly detection eliminates the need for continuous cloud connectivity, cutting operating costs by up to 75%.
🔹 Low Power Consumption – SmallSpark’s ultra-low-power computing enables anomaly detection on battery-operated devices and remote systems, ensuring long-term reliability in power-constrained environments.
🔹 Enhanced Data Security – Sensitive operational data is processed and analysed on-device, minimising exposure to cyber threats and ensuring real-time encryption.
