AI Inference at Scale: From Red Hat’s Platform to the Industrial Edge

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to research labs or pilot projects. At Red Hat Summit 2025, the company introduced an AI Inference Server designed to standardize inference across hybrid environments. Together with open-source initiatives such as llm-d for distributed inference, this marks a shift from AI as an add-on to AI as a core platform capability.

For industries that depend on infrastructure reliability, the implications are direct. AI is increasingly required not only in data centers but also at the edge: depots, vehicles, and remote facilities where decisions must be made in real time. Scaling inference across these environments requires consistency, integration, and trust in both the software stack and the governance model.

Technosmart has long worked at the convergence of hardware, software and integration logic. Our Valvoja platform is already designed for secure monitoring and automation in sensitive environments. The next step is embedding AI inference directly into these systems, ensuring that industrial devices can analyze data locally while remaining connected to enterprise-scale platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift.

This approach delivers measurable value. Local inference reduces latency, cuts network costs, and strengthens resilience in operations where downtime or miscommunication is unacceptable. By aligning with Red Hat’s hybrid architecture, Technosmart can help enterprises extend inference from centralized clusters to the most remote points of their operations.

The industrial edge is no longer peripheral; it is central to operational safety and efficiency. AI inference at scale is becoming a foundation of that shift. By combining trusted edge systems with open hybrid cloud platforms, industries can move from fragmented pilots to reliable, enterprise-wide deployment.
