NERRO (Neuromorphic Edge Real-time Reasoning Operations) is a high-performance AI chip that enables industrial computing.
NERRO is a breakthrough AI hardware technology that enables industrial edge computing in high performance environments. NERRO’s edge computing capabilities deliver unique values for applications in areas of limited or no connectivity, when latency is of high importance, in areas that deal with sensitive information and heightened cyber security risks, or if distributed AI capabilities are critical. The NERRO AI chip is field trainable and can be integrated with existing in sensors and devices that are currently in use.
Oceanit has over 20 years of experience with developing software and hardware systems for AI applications. The NERRO chip is representative of a set of technologies from years of experience in developing sensing technologies for systems with large data rates per sensor (up to many Gbps) with large scale networks to provide “operationally relevant” output in any reasonable amount of time.

NERRO vs. Cloud Computing
NERRO Chip
Cloud Computing
Field Trainable
Yes
Difficult
Internet Connection
No network required (Edge)
Network connection required
Data Rate
Report on event
Continuous data feed
Latency
Much lower latency due to distributed processing
Latency from communicating to and from cloud servers
Accuracy
More accurate output
Processing delays from ingesting very large data streams and then having to process it all in the cloud
Capital Intensity
No large capital investment for centralized cloud processing
Need large, established infrastructure requiring up-front investment
Security
Lower cyber security risk/easier to maintain control of data
Higher cyber security risk/centralized target
