AI-Driven Orchestration for Seamless Cloud-to-Edge Computing Systems

digitalTestedTRL 5

Imagine your smart devices, local servers, and giant cloud data centers acting as one single, giant brain instead of separate islands. This project builds a smart traffic controller that automatically moves data and tasks to the fastest or most energy-efficient spot in real-time. It's like having a GPS for computing that avoids digital traffic jams and saves battery life.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies struggle with fragmented edge-cloud setups that cause high latency, waste energy, and are locked into proprietary vendors. This makes it difficult to run real-time, critical applications in health and mobility.

The solution

What was built

An AI-powered orchestration engine (MIRTO) and a design environment using open standards (TOSCA, MLIR) to manage distributed computing resources.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare
mid-size
Target: Medical device manufacturer

If you are a medical device manufacturer dealing with lag in remote patient monitoring — this project developed a multi-layer infrastructure that ensures trust-driven decisions and real-time processing. This allows critical health data to be processed at the edge for immediate action.

Transport
enterprise
Target: Autonomous vehicle fleet operator

If you are a fleet operator dealing with high latency in vehicle-to-everything communication — this project developed the MIRTO AI engine that optimizes workload placement across the continuum. This improves safety in mobility scenarios involving humans.

IT Infrastructure
SME
Target: Edge computing service provider

If you are a service provider dealing with fragmented hardware from different vendors — this project developed a design environment based on open standards like TOSCA. This enables seamless deployment and verification across heterogeneous resources.

Frequently asked
