Plato Systems

Plato needed video AI that survives the field, not the lab. We built edge-to-cloud streaming with live AI labels — sub-second delay on weak 4G.

How it works

Built for the field, not the lab.

Custom hardware, weak 4G, live AI, operator screens — one pipeline that stays sub-second when conditions are worst.

The challenge

Stream and label live video over weak 4G in under a second — integrating with their hardware, while the product kept changing fast.

What we did

  1. 01Built live 4G streaming in under a week — sub-second delay on weak signal.
  2. 02Added live AI labels on the stream, so operators see what is happening as it happens.
  3. 03Extended annotation for images and quick tagging, so training data keeps flowing.
  4. 04Cleaned streaming core for 75%+ gain — same hardware, much faster pipeline.
  5. 05Split servers so one failure can't take everything down — built for the field.
  6. 06Integrated their new hardware streamer in under a day — software adapted, not rebuilt.
  7. 07Shipped 3 front ends as product evolved, rebuilt once for 2x speed, cut load time 85%.
