Axis Partner Solution Note: From Edge AI to Operational Action with Gravio

As organizations accelerate investments in smart buildings, intelligent video, and IoT automation, the focus is shifting from analytics dashboards to real-time operational response.

Edge AI is no longer just about detecting events. It is about turning physical signals into coordinated actions across systems, devices, and workflows.

To address this, Axis Communications and Gravio have partnered to deliver a scalable, no-code edge AI solution that simplifies IoT integration and enables automated action in physical environments.

Connecting Detection to Action at the Edge

Axis network cameras powered by ARTPEC-8 and ARTPEC-9 provide high-quality video and structured scene metadata. Gravio acts as the orchestration layer, connecting cameras, environmental sensors, AI models, and enterprise systems using open standards such as MQTT, ONVIF, APIs, and Webhooks.

Instead of limiting AI insights to monitoring or reporting, the solution enables organizations to:

• Process data locally for low latency and enhanced privacy
• Use Visual Question Answering to query live or recorded footage using natural language
• Trigger automated alerts, recordings, and workflow actions
• Integrate with ERP, POS, CRM, and facility management systems
• Deploy and scale across single or multi-site environments without custom development

This architecture supports modern requirements such as on-prem processing, privacy-by-design deployments, and operational automation in security and facilities environments.

Practical Applications Across Smart Environments

The solution supports a wide range of use cases, including:

• Enhanced security systems that correlate camera and sensor data
• Safety and compliance monitoring in facilities
• Smart building automation and environmental intelligence
• Workflow automation across retail, logistics, and industrial sites

One example is vape detection in restricted areas. Environmental sensors detect anomalies, Axis cameras provide visual verification, and Gravio orchestrates alerts and responses. The same architecture can be extended to many other operational scenarios, demonstrating the flexibility of an edge-first orchestration platform.

Designed for Scalable Edge Innovation

The solution follows a structured journey from use case discovery and solution design through deployment and operational scaling. Organizations can validate ideas quickly, refine workflows in live environments, and expand deployments without rebuilding infrastructure.

With increasing demand for physical AI, intelligent video analytics, and automated incident response, the ability to unify disparate systems at the edge is becoming a strategic advantage.
