Edge AI Model Optimisation, Simplified

From trained model to edge-ready deployment. Convert, optimise, validate, and benchmark AI models on real hardware — all through a no-code web interface.

HYDRA Platform Dashboard Overview

Accelerate Your Edge AI Pipeline

Everything you need to go from a trained model to optimised edge deployment, in one platform.

No-Code Workflow

Optimise and convert AI models without writing a single line of code. Intuitive web interface guides you through every step.

Full Traceability

Track every optimisation step in an interactive model version tree. Compare branches, never lose track of what you've tried.

Real Hardware Benchmarking

Test performance on actual edge devices: NVIDIA Jetson, Hailo accelerators, and standard CPU targets with live resource monitoring.

A Complete Edge AI Toolkit

Six integrated capabilities that cover the full model optimisation lifecycle.

01 — Conversion

Seamless Model Conversion

Convert between PyTorch, ONNX, TensorRT, and TFLite in a single click. Automatic validation ensures your converted model maintains expected behaviour.

Model Conversion UI
02 — Optimisation

Advanced Optimisation Pipeline

Apply pruning and dynamic or static quantisation to dramatically reduce model size and boost inference speed — with full control over parameters.

Optimisation Pipeline UI
03 — Validation

Validation & Metrics

Verify accuracy after every operation with side-by-side metric comparisons. Ensure no regressions slip through before deployment.

Validation and Model Comparison UI
04 — Visualisation

Model Architecture Visualisation

Inspect model graph architectures with an integrated Netron viewer — directly in your browser. Understand layer structure before and after optimisation.

05 — Model Versioning

Model Version Control

Visualise the full optimisation history as a branching version tree. Compare sibling models, explore alternative paths, and always know where each variant came from.

Model Version Tree UI
06 — Benchmarking

Edge Device Benchmarking

Benchmark models on real edge hardware with live resource monitoring. CPU, RAM, and GPU utilisation tracked in real-time during inference.

How It Works

Four simple steps from trained model to edge-optimised deployment.

1

Upload

Upload your trained model in any supported format (PyTorch, ONNX, TFLite, etc.).

2

Convert

Choose a target framework and convert with automatic output validation.

3

Optimise

Apply pruning or quantisation to reduce size and boost speed.

4

Benchmark

Test on real edge hardware, review metrics, and download your optimised model.

Service Breakdown

Each component has a single responsibility, communicating through well-defined interfaces.

Frontend

Web application providing a no-code interface with real-time progress updates, interactive model version tree, and integrated model architecture viewer.

Orchestrator

Central service handling business logic, REST APIs, and the real-time communication bridge for live progress updates.

Optimisation Service

Asynchronous ML pipeline running validation, conversion, pruning, quantisation, and fine-tuning tasks on GPU.

Data Storage

Persistent storage layer for model metadata, version history, and model binary artefacts.

Message Bus

Asynchronous messaging layer enabling decoupled communication between the orchestrator, optimisation service, and edge nodes.

Edge Node

Lightweight component running on each edge device that executes benchmark tasks and reports resource utilisation metrics in real time.
