Advanced AI Solutions for Next-Generation Enterprises

AcuNow is a pioneering solution tailored for high throughput and low latency needs, ideal for real time business operations. The platform brings together Acuvate’s IoT, Edge AI, and enterprise data streaming capabilities to capture operational signals, take immediate action, and scale deployments across industrial and enterprise environments. 

Our platform stands out by being hardware independent and adaptable, suitable for any environment from the edge to the cloud, underpinned by robust EdgeX Foundry architecture. 

What Makes AcuNow Different

Flexibility and Scalability

Depending on demand, the platform adapts to various hardware and software setups. 

Advanced Connectivity

Supports multiple methods of connecting to sensors, cameras, and enterprise data sources across industrial environments. 

AcuNow Core Capabilities

Sensor Streaming and Real-Time Actions

AcuNow supports realtime ingestion of short sensor messages to trigger instant alerts, workflows, and automated actions. This enables live monitoring of operational signals such as temperature, vibration, production counts, stock levels, and tank levels. 

How it works (Microsoft Fabric RTI) 

  • Sensors stream data directly to Microsoft Fabric RTI 
  • Integration via Microsoft Logic Apps when protocol conversion is required (1400+ protocols) 
  • Rules applied in Real-Time Activator 
  • Actions pushed to Teams / Power Apps / workflows 
  • Dashboards via Fabric Real-Time Dashboard / Power BI 
  • Data stored in OneLake (KQL Database) 

Edge AI – Machine Vision

Live camera feeds are analyzed on edge devices to detect defects, safety issues, and anomalies in real time, reducing latency and avoiding large data transfers to the cloud.

What it enables 

  • Real time product quality inspection  
  • Fault detection and removal on production lines  
  • PPE compliance checks and safety monitoring  
  • Restricted zone access monitoring  
  • Lifting safety by preventing personnel from entering hazardous areas or walking under suspended loads 

Edge AI – Machine Learning on Large Data

High frequency sensor and PI time series data is processed at the edge and streamed to the AcuPrism platform for real time visibility and AI insights. 

Why Edge AI? 

  • Camera and vision data is often: 
    • Too large to send to the cloud in real time 
    • Too slow for immediate actions 
    • Better processed locally for reliability and autonomy 

 
Edge AI Platform Options 

  • Choose based on deployment size and management needs:  
    • Azure IoT Edge: Device-focused, single-device runtime 
    • Azure IoT Operations: Arc + Kubernetes-based industrial platform, scalable & resilient 

Enterprise PI Data Streaming

Global PI time series data from multiple plants is streamed into enterprise data platforms such as AcuPrism, Microsoft Fabric, or Databricks for real time visibility and AI analytics. 

Key Capabilities 

  • Supports native PI interface (no extra software needed) 
  • Streams from many PI servers globally 
  • Stores time-series data in AcuPrism Data & AI Platform 
  • Built on Microsoft Fabric or Databricks for enterprise AI and analytics 
  • Enables AI scenarios like:  
    • Predictive maintenance for critical rotating equipment  
    • Failure prediction and early warning 
    • Operational optimization across plants 
Hardware and OS Independence

The platform supports multiple hardware architectures including x86, ARM, and GPU and runs across operating systems such as Linux and Windows. 

Flexible Distribution and Deployment

EdgeX Foundry is platform agnostic and supports distribution of services across edge devices, gateways, fog environments, and cloud deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and other orchestration tools. 

Store and Forward Capability

Supports disconnected or remote edge systems by buffering data locally and forwarding it when connectivity is restored.

Extreme Flexibility

Individual platform components can be upgraded, replaced, or extended using microservices based architecture to meet specific use case requirements.
