Blue Cloud Softech, Byte Eclipse to Build Edge AI Chips for O&G

31 Oct 2025 CW Team

The collaboration marks a significant milestone in Blue Cloud Softech’s mission to deliver innovative, cost-effective, and technology-driven industrial solutions. The initiative aims to enable real-time, on-site data processing and decision-making for mission-critical applications such as predictive maintenance. Phase 1 of the project, valued at USD 15 million, will be completed within 18 months, followed by global expansion in subsequent phases.

Key Collaboration Highlights:

Real-Time Analytics: The new Edge AI chips will locally process vast sensor data—such as vibration, temperature, and pressure—offering instant insights, early anomaly detection, and automated responses to prevent downtime or equipment failures.

Autonomous Operations: Engineered for remote and harsh O&G environments, the chips will function independently, enabling decision-making even in low-connectivity areas such as offshore rigs and long-distance pipelines.

Cost Efficiency: By processing raw data on-site and transmitting only actionable insights to the cloud, the solution will reduce bandwidth use, lower transmission costs, and improve operational performance.

Enhanced Security: Keeping sensitive data local will minimise cybersecurity risks and safeguard confidential operational information.

Technical Vision: The Edge AI chips will incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as ASICs, FPGAs, and specialised processors to meet the industry’s demanding needs. They will feature:

High computational power capable of Tera Operations Per Second (TOPS) for real-time AI inference.

Energy-efficient designs ideal for battery- or solar-powered systems.

Rugged architecture to endure extreme temperatures, vibration, and corrosive conditions.

Seamless integration with existing industrial systems, including SCADA and PLCs.

Market Outlook: Reports from TRAI and Statista suggest that the global Edge AI market is witnessing exponential growth. In India alone, the Industrial AIoT market is projected to exceed USD 1 billion by 2027, driven by the rapid adoption of AI and IoT technologies in critical sectors like Oil and Gas.

This partnership positions Blue Cloud Softech Solutions as a frontrunner in industrial AIoT innovation, combining advanced hardware design with real-world industrial intelligence to power the next generation of smart operations.

Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited, a leading provider of AI-driven enterprise solutions, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) worth USD 15 million (around Rs 1.25 billion) with US-based IoT firm Byte Eclipse to design and develop Edge AI chips tailored for the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry.
