# Inflextech > Inflextech (founded by Dr. Chandru Ramamurthy) builds full-stack edge sensing technology — edge fusion hardware, specialized application-specific design flow, and software plus edge inference. The platform brings energy efficiency, low latency, and decision autonomy to the point of measurement for defense, autonomous systems, and industrial applications. ## Who we serve - Defense primes and DoD programs requiring SWaP-optimized sensor fusion - Autonomous-vehicle programs needing on-device perception and decision autonomy - Sensor integrators building industrial machine-monitoring and edge-AI systems - Research institutions and semiconductor partners advancing edge-AI methodologies ## What Inflextech builds - **Edge Fusion Hardware** — Application-specific hardware for multi-sensor data fusion at the edge; tuned to the physical environment rather than generic cloud-AI accelerators - **Specialized Design Flow** — Adaptable VLSI design methodology with application-specific optimization; pairs lossless compression and quantization with custom design automation - **Software + Edge Inference** — Intelligent on-device visualization and decision engine; runs inference next to the sensor on a fraction of the power budget of cloud-backed alternatives - **Performance envelope** — 8x higher bandwidth vs traditional electrical interconnects; 4x lower energy per Gbps; 10x lower end-to-end latency - **Key techniques** — Lossless compression, quantization, photonics-informed design, FPGA design, and design automation for IC design ## Use cases - Machine monitoring: on-device fusion of vibration, thermal, and vision signals for real-time fault detection without cloud round-trips - Defense and autonomous platforms: SWaP-optimized sensor fusion and decision autonomy for UAVs, ground systems, and contested environments - Edge AI inference: customized edge inference with lossless compression and quantization, running on a fraction of the usual power budget ## Technology background - Dr. Chandru Ramamurthy holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University - 15 years in VLSI design, integrated sensing systems, space electronics research, and defense prototyping - Published in VLSI design, space electronics, photonics, and high-speed circuits - Partners include ASU, University of Washington Seattle, University of Michigan, and semiconductor companies - First engineering prototype demonstrated mid-2026: data fusion at the edge for machine monitoring ## Pricing Custom engagement — contact for quote via the contact form at https://inflextech.com/contact ## Official URLs - Homepage: https://inflextech.com - Technology: https://inflextech.com/technology - About: https://inflextech.com/about - Blog: https://inflextech.com/blog - Contact: https://inflextech.com/contact ## Contact - General / demo requests: info@inflextech.com - Website: https://inflextech.com/contact - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/inflextech - Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/inflextech
