As AI continues to converge with IoT, edge computing has emerged as a key technology driving digital transformation across industries. Founded in 2024, eCloudEdge focuses on two core areas: edge computing and operational technology (OT) data governance. Through its proprietary NeoEdge platform, the company enables customers to extract, transform, and load (ETL) sensor data directly from factory sites while deploying AI models at the edge. By integrating physical AI with multi-sensor fusion, eCloudEdge addresses long-standing challenges in OT-IT integration faced by the manufacturing, transportation, and energy sectors. Leveraging a SaaS-based architecture and Amazon Web Services (AWS)' global cloud infrastructure, the company lowers adoption barriers and accelerates deployment, expanding AI applications across diverse industrial environments.
Sensor Fusion + Edge Computing: NeoEdge Brings AI to the Factory Floor
According to Rick Peng, CEO of eCloudEdge, the company's NeoEdge AIoT Edge Orchestration Platform adopts a software-defined hardware architecture that allows industrial computers to function as smartphone-like devices by installing different protocols and functional modules to flexibly meet on-site demands. The platform comprises two major components: NeoEdge X, which is deployed on industrial computers to handle data collection, preprocessing, and AI inference, and NeoEdge Central, which is hosted on the cloud to enable remote management and rapid deployment, ensuring flexible operations across multiple factories, production lines, and large-scale environments.
Peng emphasized that eCloudEdge's product strategy focuses not on building AI models, but on ensuring AI's effectiveness in real-world operations. Unlike solutions centered on model training, NeoEdge highlights AI model deployment and sensor fusion. In equipment maintenance, for example, the platform collects controller data for generative AI analysis and uses AI agents to automatically generate work orders, enabling engineers to complete maintenance in a single visit and significantly boost efficiency.
In the area of energy management, eCloudEdge partners with local system integrators in Kaohsiung to use NeoEdge as a core platform for rapid OT/IT system integration, helping SMEs establish energy management dashboards. The platform also supports remote diagnostics to pinpoint whether connectivity issues stem from sensors, gateways, or databases-reducing on-site maintenance costs and improving response times.
Establishing a global presence from Kaohsiung, eCloudEdge builds a digital bridge connecting cloud and edge
eCloudEdge's global expansion strategy is anchored in the AWS ecosystem. Built natively on AWS, its platform is listed on AWS Marketplace, allowing global customers to easily subscribe to its services. Among AWS services, AWS IoT Core "a fully managed service that connects IoT devices to AWS without the need to provision or manage servers" plays a pivotal role in cloud integration, while ensuring that data can be returned securely to customers' internal systems.
Through the international resources of the AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC), eCloudEdge was recently selected for the Go Malaysia program, gaining visibility at an exhibition in Kuala Lumpur. At the same time, the company is strengthening its local presence in southern Taiwan through Startup Terrace Kaohsiung, leveraging workspace and business matchmaking resources to deepen connections within the local industrial ecosystem. Peng noted that Kaohsiung's manufacturing sector has a strong appetite for digital transformation, and eCloudEdge's role as a "digital bridge" enables traditional manufacturers to connect with new technologies. Its subscription-based SaaS model provides SMEs with an accessible path to gradual digital upgrading, while large manufacturers can accelerate system deployment and broaden AI applications through NeoEdge's multi-sensor fusion capabilities.
Global Ambitions: A Bridge for Digital Transformation
Looking ahead, eCloudEdge plans to continue deepening its roots in Taiwan in the short term, working with its strategic investor eCloudvalley to deliver complete OT-to-IT-to-cloud solutions. In the mid-term, it aims to expand into Southeast Asia and Australia to meet the growing needs of manufacturing relocation and the energy transition. Over the long term, eCloudEdge intends to promote its global SaaS model, beginning with Europe.
The company is also preparing to launch a new version of NeoEdge, further enhancing platform functionality and brand visibility. Ultimately, eCloudEdge envisions itself not merely as an edge computing platform provider, but as a key bridge connecting edge and cloud, empowering enterprises to seize opportunities amid digital transformation and global supply chain restructuring.
