How do signage displays with Edge AI help save energy and money?

Edge AI is transforming the way businesses use technology. How is it doing that? And why does that make sense for business?

AI is progressing at a phenomenal rate, driving a new era in technology. The data transmission associated with AI is growing at a phenomenal rate too, though. Projections show a doubling of energy use from 2024 to 2027. With the world watching energy usage, this is a concern for governments and organisations. Driving new approaches, including Edge AI.

Bringing processing closer to source

Traditional cloud computing requires data to be sent from devices to centralised data centres – and then back again. This continuous transmission consumes bandwidth, power, computing resources, and a lot of water.

With Edge AI, data is processed closer to where it is created, instead of transmitting it to distant cloud servers. Put simply, it reduces the burden by allowing smart devices, such as digital displays, to analyse data locally. This comes with a dual benefit – it improves speed, security, and reliability and it can save significant amounts of energy and money, reducing operational costs. In fact, reported energy consumption savings can be 100 to 1,000 times per task, according to the World Economic Forum.

Reduced data transfer

A major advantage of Edge AI is reduced data transfer. Sending huge amounts of data across networks requires expensive infrastructure and high power usage. By filtering and processing information at the Edge, businesses can minimise network traffic and reduce cloud storage expenses. For organisations with thousands of connected devices, these savings can be substantial.

Edge AI also improves efficiency in real time operations. For example, AI ready digital displays can detect faults without waiting for cloud responses. Faster decision making reduces downtime, prevents waste, and lowers maintenance costs. Retail. Manufacturing. Corporates. And beyond. Smart organisations with Edge AI are reducing electricity bills while improving sustainability.

Supporting business sustainability

Another important benefit is lower reliance on large data centres, which consume an enormous amount of energy worldwide. By distributing computing tasks across local devices, Edge AI helps reduce the environmental impact of digital operations. Supporting carbon emission reductions and business sustainability.

Edge AI – the new, powerful tool for business

As businesses continue to adopt connected devices and automation, Edge AI ready digital displays, including Philips Signage, are becoming an essential solution for balancing performance, cost savings, and energy efficiency. The ability to deliver faster insights while reducing resource consumption makes Edge AI a new, powerful tool for the future of sustainable business.
