// Decision Engines
All tools
Six structured decision engines. Each takes a set of deployment constraints and returns a ranked recommendation with rationale, metrics, and machine-readable JSON output.
01
● Live
Hardware Selector
Recommends the optimal edge AI compute platform — Jetson, Coral, Hailo, or RK3588 — based on scenario, model type, stream count, power budget, and environment.
Scenario
Model type
Stream count
Power budget
Environment
→ Ranked hardware · Confidence score · Purchase links · JSON
02
● Live
GPU Sizing
Sizes compute headroom for your inference workload. Calculates required TOPS, projected FPS, and latency against platform capabilities. Flags headroom risk.
Model architecture
Batch size
Latency target
Throughput
→ Platform match · FPS estimate · Headroom score · JSON
03
● Live
Power Budget Planner
Calculates total system power draw, sizes PoE switch budget, battery capacity, or UPS runtime. Flags devices that exceed power class limits.
Device count
PoE class
UPS runtime
Cooling load
→ Total TDP · PSU spec · UPS sizing · Switch recommendation · JSON
04
● Live
Network Bandwidth
Calculates raw and compressed bitrate for multi-camera deployments. Sizes uplink requirements and flags when traffic approaches link saturation.
Camera count
Resolution
Encoding
Uplink budget
→ Total Mbps · Switch spec · Uplink recommendation · JSON
05
● Live
Storage Endurance
Models NVMe TBW consumption for continuous recording workloads. Calculates drive lifespan against write-amplification factor and retention requirements.
Bitrate
Retention period
Drive TBW
Write amplification
→ Capacity needed · Drive spec · Lifespan estimate · JSON
06
● Live
Full Deployment Planner
End-to-end deployment calculator. Combines hardware selection, power infrastructure, network sizing, and storage endurance into a complete, itemised bill of materials with cost estimates.
Scenario
