What is Hailo AI?
Key Features
Edge inference engine
runs pre-trained AI models directly on Hailo hardware without cloud dependency
Low-latency processing
delivers real-time results suitable for time-sensitive applications
Model optimisation
tools to compress and adapt existing models for efficient edge execution
Hardware acceleration
dedicated processors designed specifically for neural network inference
Development framework
software stack for integrating Hailo processors into applications
Multi-model support
can run multiple AI models simultaneously on supported hardware
Pros & Cons
Advantages
- Reduces latency significantly compared to cloud-based AI inference
- Lowers operational costs by minimising data transmission to remote servers
- Improves privacy by processing sensitive data locally on the device
- Works reliably in environments with poor or no internet connectivity
- Reduces bandwidth requirements for continuous AI processing
Limitations
- Requires specific Hailo hardware rather than working with standard processors
- Learning curve for developers unfamiliar with edge deployment workflows
- Model support and optimisation may be limited compared to cloud-based solutions
Use Cases
Autonomous vehicle and robotics systems requiring real-time decision-making
Security and surveillance systems with local video analysis
Industrial inspection and quality control on manufacturing floors
Smart cameras and IoT devices that need on-device AI without cloud calls
Healthcare devices requiring immediate analysis of sensor or imaging data
Pricing
Access to development tools and software framework; limited to evaluation and development use
